No notes but consistent w my last entry in ‘22; it’s a pretty Ribero Del Duero that struck a balance between power & finesse, more on the latter. One of Asimovs 20 under 20.

Apr 23rd, 2024A fresh Crianza from the Duero. Nose is more bark than its bite, with robust crushed blackberries & graphite, but on the palate a slimmer yet still scrumptious blend of cassis, more blackberries, and that graphite thing. Never descends into tutti fruity or not matured enough fruit,as the tannins are nicely polished (with air),& the relative youth keeps things accessible. TEdwards import.
Bottle shared at Jose Andres’s Spanish Diner in his sprawling Mercado, at Hudson Yards.
