The 2006 Monte Negro 6 Meses en Barrica is 100% Tempranillo aged for 6 months in seasoned French and American oak. Dark ruby-colored, it gives up an attractive nose of cedar, tobacco, spice box, and blackberry. This is followed by a ripe, spicy, savory wine with plenty of flavor interest and 2-3 years of aging potential. Drink it from 2010 to 2018.
