Cropped on October 14 and 15 at ten hectoliters per hectare, the 2009 Alabaster is similar to the 2010 in that it is a little reticent at first and demands coaxing from the glass. There are notes of black currant pastels, cedar and a touch of graphite. The palate is medium-bodied with nicely integrated oak, the tannins not quite as fine as the 2010, but supporting more fruit toward the finish. Blackberry, brine, touches of cedar and orange zest inform the finish, which has good weight but does not quite have the precision of the succeeding two vintages. Drink 2014-2025+ (Both samples of 2007 and 2008 Alabaster are still very youthful) .

About Teso La Monja:
Teso La Monja is a project of the renowned Eguren Family who have many generations producing wine in Rioja unders the wineries of Sierra Cantabria, San Vicente and the latest Viñ±edos de Páganos. They founded in Toro the Numanthia winery which obtained the highest rating (a 100 point wine) with Robert Parker. Then they sold the winery to Louis Vouiton, Moet, Hennessy Group (LVMH). Having achieved a lot of knowledge in the area, the Eguren family decided to found a second winery in Toro putting in all what they learned at Numanthia making now more elegant wines than powerful. Their key is making voluptuos wines with impressive balance. Toro is a region who produce powerful and rustic wines but the ones of Teso la Monja have an undeniable elegance and smoothness.
