Tinto Pesquera Reserva Ribera del Duero Tempranillo
Ribera del Duero, Castilla y León, Spain
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)

Deep Ruby with aromas of ripe red/black fruits with herbs, toast and sweet spice, aged for 24 months in American oak. On the palate flavors of ripe black cherry flavors with vanilla, oak and cacao notes, nice acidity balance with soft ripe tannins. Long finish ending with subtle fruit, tobacco, vanilla and toasty oak, drinking very well now! Still has room to age, but I think it’s great now.

Moderate to deep purple red, good clarity. Floral, candy apple and red fruit notes in nose. Complex flavors, spice, coffee, tea, needs more time to decant. Might be really great.

2007. Riserva. Still youthful , but clearly the drinkability window is now.
