Reviews CLOS MONLLEO 1997
Frisky,fresh and exuberant,this blend of old-vine cariñana and garnacha
has a lasting flavour of sour cherry and jasmine spice. The aromas and flavors
are concentrated and compressed.
Here,the waxy intensity of de fruit last longer than its flavour, the wine
friendly, easy, great with a steak.
WINE & SPIRITS. 90. Exceptional value. August 2000.
CLOS MONLLEO 1998
“Medium bodied, more elagant and classy than the rest of the field” said
one taster.
Another found”dark cherry notes with hints of vanilla,dark fruits and very
fine balance”.
“(...) as it has lots of blackberries, chocolate and pepper”. Another found
”Nice,sweet red licorice and persimmon spices…also chocolate and expresso.
It’s soft, so drink it soon”.
“The nose of this was sensational! Sweet wood and nice fruit…vanilla cream.
The same
elements come through on the palate, the wine being rich,oacky and yet fruity,
too”.
Two and a half stars.

to be excellent and complex”.
“Sweet and ripe, red fruit aromas of cherry and berry are followed by a bit
of coffee,vanilla and then, some violets and even a touch of pepper!”. The
wine displays a lovely plummy fruit character on the palate, along with the
vanilla and coffe its character.

low acidity”.
