Vibrant and alive. Nice fruit but not as well balanced in the mouth - fell away after the mid-palate

Good but not great older Ribera del Duero. Good spice, leather and some earth, but lacking in the fruit that I have found in some older Riojas and some Riberas.

Nice. Again I'd hoped with the age I would not be wearing my socks when I sipped it. Still on. Really good though. The upfront sweat sock nose softened to a field/yard in a short time. Nice fruit up front with medium tannins to finish.

Gran Reserva 1994. Light smoke, meat, leather and American oak on the nose. Dark fruits and tobacco with perhaps a little too much alcohol on the palate (surprising for the 13% ABV).

Man vermutet einen € 80 wein - tief und fruchtig.
