“95 rating … deep, very complex ... with a fine core, excellent transparency and focus, suave, buried tannins and a long, complex and utterly seamless finish ... This is already drinking beautifully, but it is still in climbing mode and will be even better with further bottle age. A great vintage of Monte Real Gran Reserva! (Drink between 2021-2075)”

“95 rating ... a deep, very complex and nicely 'cool' aromatic constellation of black cherries, sweet dark berries, tobacco leaf, a lovely undertow of spice tones, savory elements of fresh bay, dried eucalyptus and balsam, a complex base of soil, cigar ash, graphite and a deft touch of cedary oak. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and beautifully balanced, with a fine core, excellent transparency and focus, suave, buried tannins and a long, complex and utterly seamless finish ... A great vintage of Monte Real Gran Reserva! (Drink between 2021-2075)”
