PEDRO PARRA Y FAMILIA

Monk 2022

- 95 points -

The 2022 Monk originates from dark red granite soils with high silt and iron content, contributing to its dark, introverted personality. Despite this brooding start, it slowly unfurls in the glass with anise, cardamom and hints of dark fruit, although fruits generally are not in the foreground of any wine in this roster. In the mouth, it offers the deepest and most muscular palate while maintaining a seamless, slender texture, concluding with a powdery, glacial finish of drying mineral intensity. Within the Parra roster, this is one wine I would recommend cellaring for an additional year or two.

À propos de Wine Advocate

The Wine Advocate was a bi-monthly publication and Robert Parker Wine Advocate continues this tradition, although articles and reviews are now published every week. The main goal is to publish regionally focused reports, which mainly offer wine reviews of new wine releases, but they also produce important vintage retrospectives and occasionally single-label verticals and producer profiles. Since 2019, Robert Parker Wine Advocate has been a wholly owned subsidiary of the Michelin Group.
