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!
