Monopole Rioja Clasico 2018

Light, bright yellow. A complex, penetrating bouquet evokes dried pear, lemon pith, beeswax, salted nuts and chamomile. Chewy and broad on the palate, offering intense Meyer lemon, pear, membrillo and honeysuckle flavors and a hint of toasted almond. The salty note drives an impressively long, focused finish that echoes the pear, salt and floral notes.
