Best Ribera besides Vega for me ever. Red garnet color with a vibrant ruby edge. The aromas of fruits like raspberry and blackberry, blend with perfectly integrated oak, spice and a touch of floral. The palate is exceptional, the attack starts with darker black raspberry, with the finish turning red raspberry and strawberry, licorice, tea and cola add complexity. Not peaking yet, this wine has another 10 easy, maybe 15 more. Deep, fresh and balanced on the palate the finish is long and pure.

Sadly infanticide at this point even after 10yrs. This bad boy is a muscle car. Still the potential for elegance exists.

Powerful wine. Lots of concentration. Sweet ripe cherries, nice minerality, espresso. Not my cup of tea.
