Bodegas Portia Prima
La Encina
Ribera del Duero, Castilla y León, Spain
Deep, vivid violet. Oak-spiced dark berries, mocha and violet on the deeply perfumed nose. Deep, jammy black and blue fruit and vanilla flavors show good energy, and a peppery note adds spicy lift on the back half. The vanilla notes carry through the clinging, rounded finish, which is framed by well-knit tannins. Malo and 15 months of aging in new and used French oak barrels.

Deep ruby/purple/black color. Black raspberry and blueberry fruit on the nose with additional hints of tobacco, leather, dried herbs and smoke. Same combination of black and blue berry fruit on the palate along with notes of dark plum, dark chocolate, coffee and baking spices. Long and supple finish with very fine grained tannins and well balanced acidity. Medium bodied with a nice combination of power and depth. Thank you for the gift, John P.

A fantastic expression of Tempranillo grape, full body, ripe, dense with a long aftertaste. So tasty. It should be even better in a few years.

Black purple in the glass, with dark fruit and forrestal scent on the nose. A soft mouthfeel, with dark plums, blackberries and spicy herbs. A 100% Tinta del Pais (Tempranillo). Really nice now, but years ahead as well.

Had better, previous years are much better IMHO. Discovery is all part of the voyage. At €14 it’s not one to take on your round-the-world voyage and I wouldn’t want it to be the only bottle in the desert island wine fridge.

Really good value (CHF 18 @ Coop) Tempranillo. Nicely aged in oak, but still returns deep fruit flavor.
