The 2019 Monte Real Reserva de Familia has a more classical profile, even though it's 100% Tempranillo. It's medium-bodied and has abundant dusty tannins that give it a dry and powdery texture. Twenty-four months in oak seems to have dried out the fruit. 200,000 bottles.

The classical and balsamic 2014 Monte Real Reserva de Familia followed the style of the 2011 that I tasted last time—clean, balanced and fresh, with abundant balsamic notes. The palate is very fresh with some fine tannins and tasty flavors. 300,000 bottles produced.
