45+ minute decant. Dark red color with some bricking. Nose smelled like it was corked with dried plums and must. Palate was totally different. Lovely texture, cedar, dark cherries, and graphite. Medium plus depth and nice finish.

Beautiful, full Ribero del Duero, vastly led by tempranillo with maybe 10% Merlot. Brilliant vintage. Both power and elegance

Exquisite. Nose full of life with red / dark fruit. Opened 2 hours before drinking with slight chill. Just an elegant red that was full of medium red- dark fruit. Bright and balanced.
