No notes; A beefier Ribera Sacra I’ve come back to several times. Deelish, clean, red fruits. — 24 days ago

Elegant and Minerally. Great acidity with a spicy foundation of tobacco and some vanilla. Bright red fruit of the raspberry kind. — 2 years ago

Two years later I’m not getting the same feedback. I still enjoy but had more of a sweetness not overpowered.

Light bodied. Packed with a ton of flavor. I have loved everything from this producer. Mint and wet gravel to go along with beautiful red fruit. — 2 months ago

Wine with roasted whole chicken part 2: I used to adore Ribera Sacra, & then moved away with the inevitable rise in price & trend towards more modern styles. Not this. A short decant (45-60) to take the wind out of the Brett sails, & we were off: dense, brambly black fruits on nose & palate, with a distant barn door left open on the nose. Medium plus acidity. It’s the length though that impressed me, along with a freshness (at 13%). Evolves in glass, as if the fruit still has layers. Like a really good chinon. At about 28$, a high end QPR. Eric Solomon imp, interestingly enough. — 3 years ago
