Fresh and balanced, the fruit is there but so is a good dose of acidity. Not your typical overdone RdD, this is also full of charm and structure. Firm and young tannins need 30-60 minutes in a decanter or wait 6 months for them to settle in.

Nice mouthfeel. Red currant, some wild strawberry. Rich long finish.

What a pleaser. Complex nose of dark fruit and spice. Full on the palate with a mid length finish. #riberadelduero

Nice fruit. Cherry and chocolate and some oak. Young tannins a bit aggressive. Good acidity.

Pleasant, smooth. Black cherries are short lived, white pepper finish. Thin on the palate. Good and smooth, not offensive but not very interesting.

Black cherries and white pepper finish. Smooth. Pairs well with meat.
