The Wine Advocate # 226 - 31st Aug 2016 - Robert M. Parker, Jr. - 2014 Teso la Monja • Almirez - 92/100 - $25-29 - 2016-2026
More expensive is their 2014 Almirez, which spends much longer time in oak and comes from vines 15-65 years old in slightly higher elevations. I didn’t see much difference in this wine from its less-expensive sibling, although this one had more grilled meat and almost Provençal, Châteauneuf Du Pape-like blood characteristics, with blackberry and cassis, full body and a long, lusty finish. Some licorice also makes an appearance in this impressively constituted wine. Drink it over the next decade.
