Monje de Autor Reserva 1998 Alfredo Kraus
Cherry red medium layer, clean and bright. On the nose you have to let it open to understand its expression; ripe fruit interspersed with notes of rich wood, coffee, truffle and that varietal and indefinable feeling that traditional varieties bring. Mouth wide, tannins to be polished but can be taken already, balanced with a slightly bitter finish typical of the Listán Negro.

My story
The 1998 harvest was great, an opportunity to re-elaborate a reserve using the Listán Negro, Negramoll and Listán Blanco varieties. We bought new barrels and raised it for eighteen months. Then the maturation in the bottle has been excellent and to this day [what?]. The label-tribute on this occasion deserved to be for the Gran Canarian Alfredo Kraus, one of the best tenors of the twentieth century.
