Deep ruby color; black cherries, graphite, and raspberries on the nose; high acidity; high tannins; tastes like cherries, strawberry sauce, dried flowers, and crushed gravel with a long finish. Nellie says it's ok. I love it! Nellie liked it after a long decant. — 8 days ago
Stunning Gran Reserva. In a league of it's own — a month ago
Popped and poured; enjoyed over two days. Best on Day 2 after it brightened up. The 2008 pours a deep garnet with a near opaque core; medium+ viscosity with moderate staining of the tears and signs of sediment. On the nose, the wine is vinous with notes of blackberry compote, coffee, Werther’s Chocolate, tobacco leaf, leather, teriyaki, demi-glace, and dry earth. On the palate the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes on the nose. The finish is long and slightly savory. This is delicious and has to be one of the great values in Ribera del Duero. Drink now through 2032+. — a month ago

Remarkable. This is deep and intense and still rich. A little cloudy but vivacious. A rich nose with sweet notes. Dark plum, some rustiness, a hint of Madeira at the edges. Delicious with a tangy zip. Wow — 3 days ago
