Tinto Pesquera Reserva Ribera del Duero Tempranillo 2019

Delectable Wine
9.2

The 2019 Pesquera Reserva is a 100% Tempranillo from Pesquera del Duero, aged for 14 months in American oak barrels. Garnet-red in hue. Presents blackberry and plum aromas with vanilla and oak undertones. The palate is dry and juicy, featuring taut, reactive tannins contributing to a velvety, medium-bodied texture. Bold right now, it should mellow with age. (Joaquín Hidalgo, Vinous, November 2023)

Tinto Pesquera Ribera del Duero Tempranillo 1989

Provided by a friend for a go deep on older wines dinner pre-Christmas. Initially concerned that a storage mishap earlier in its life may have done some damage, but once opened for 20-30 minutes, it really started to sing nicely. 31 year old Ribera del Duero from a time when you still needed to know to buy these wines on release. Deeper than a Rioja, so good dark fruits, tobacco, horse leather, and the like. Enjoyed with standing rib roast and more than held its own with Bordeaux from the same year and other delicious wines. — 3 years ago

Crianza Ribera del Duero Tempranillo 2019

In 1972, Alejandro Fernández & wife Esperanza Rivera of Pesquera de Duero initiated the renaissance of Ribera del Duero appellation with area's first modern wire-trained vineyard, their Viña Alta in Pesquera. Their entry level wine is a great value. Deep Ruby with aromas of red fruits and clean spice. Palate shows flavors of red berry fruits, vanilla, spice, and licorice notes, vivid acidity. Firm tannins, medium finish ending with spice and fruit character. — 3 months ago

I love Spanish wines and Garnacha wines are a great value. This wine is inexpensive but burst with aromas and flavors that go beyond the price. It is vibrant and peppery. Excellent value wine. Great with cheese and crusty Cuban bread! Salud. 2019 vintage. — 2 years ago

Delectable Wine
9.1

The 2020 Crianza is a 100% Tempranillo from Pesquera del Duero. Aged for 14 months in American oak barrels, it's garnet-red with a purple sheen. The nose offers strawberry, herb, undergrowth and oak aromas. Dry and taut on the palate with finely-grained tannins and a compact profile, this is a flavorful example of a Ribera red.

Imperial Gran Reserva Rioja Tempranillo Blend 2008

Dark ruby red color. The nose is powerful: raspberries, chocolate and also leather. The mouthfeel is complex and balanced! The berries are immediately apparent, followed by savoryness, and hints of vanilla. The finish is long, intense, and full of round tannings but smooth as silk. Rioja, paella and Alejandro Sanz; can’t get more Spanish than that. And it may be the inspiration talking but this bottle is tasting as close to Rioja perfection as I’ve ever had. — 4 years ago
