Remarkably flavorful 2005, 13 year old Ribera del Duero.

The cork broke in two but fairly intact otherwise.

Leather, tar, dense dark fruit concentrate, dash of mint. Black cherries, chocolate...

Digging it. Fresh tobacco with a bunch of fruit showing nicely. Still has real rich color and will be a pleasure to enjoy.

Cork disintegrated upon opening, but wine is superb. Rich luscious earthiness, everything you'd expect from an RdD.

Best vintage we've had so far. Needed 2 hours in decanter.

Very fruity on the nose, dark red fruit. Lighter on the palette, but with full, round flavour. Some vanilla, dark black and red fruit in the taste. Very good! Deep ruby colour. To be enjoyed even on its own!

Dark fruits, leather and tobacco on the nose and palate. Dark fruit profile with good structure and the stuffing to age further. Classic Tempranillo.
