Wow this was singing last night. Wide open and silky. Very expressive nose of smoked meats and herbs. I'd definitely get more of this

Cedar, applewood, iron, smoke, tannin, black currant, black cherry, ripe, but not sweet. Absolutely killer for $20 on blowout.

Fruits astonishingly ripe and fresh, tannins soft but structured, very alive with great acidity. (It's technically not from Ribera del Duero, for what it's worth.)

A great wine for value and oomph. Strong middle; I just wish there were a little more to it for the finish. Biodynamic and you can tell.
