Dark plum, bloodiness and oak. Very integrated, smooth and lush. Soft edged with a plush finish. Not profound but likeable. Needs time in glass

@Mike Rowe @David A Lentine @Ron R @Kirk Alexander I lied before when I said the Sena was the only bargain bang for the buck that we enjoyed tonight. This wine is s rockstar for its price point. I call it my baby Vega! It's an awesome wine which did a great job at highlighting the strengths of every other wine that was enjoyed tonight. Believe me., it's a kickass bottle of wine but it was unfortunately overshadowed by its peers. I own 18 of these., so you know I like it! Next time., I won't open it next to 3 100 point bottles!!
Whoops., my bad! Lol

Opening a bottle of “modern” Ribera del Duero was an absolute joy. The color was a glistening dark Ruby red with concentrated aromas of dark fruits, floral scents and some oak spice. The palate shows sweet blackberries, plums and hints of black raspberry with gentle oak coming through. Tannins were very soft, good balance with acidity, medium to full body. The finish ends smooth with some woody spice, tobacco, smoke and minerality. Outstanding! It was even better sharing this gift from my son, with him!
