Compañía de Vinos Telmo Rodríguez
Valderiz Ribera Del Duero
Spain
Blend of 95% Tinta Fino (Tempranillo) and 5% Albillo, aged for 19 months in oak, deep Ruby color with an elegant bouquet of ripe berry fruits, pepper spice and floral herb tones. On the palate flavors of plum and blackberry, vanilla, oak, pepper and herb spice, lively acidity. Fine soft creamy tannins, long finish ending with fruit, oak, spice and a slight earthy character. Nice! Organic!

2019 vintage. Pop N Pour (PNP). Immediate access and goods available. Smoky, saline, sultry nose. Medium body. Plenty of oak but held in check by current tannins/acidity + fruit balance. Could initially be mistaken as a red Bordeaux from right bank St. Émmie. Keeps piling on the cherry pastille angle and, initially, the wine drinks (not in a bad way) a tad stratified with layers of this, then layers of that. Time in the glass finds that dissipating. Graphite. Ripe dark plum. Blackberries. Dark cherries. Each of these figure prominently during. Elements of grace hovering in the meanwhile with a rich, carob, plummy flourish at palate’s end. Biodynamic and certified organic. Gotta go pick up a few more bottles. 01.01.25.

Jan 2nd, 2025Wonderful cherry bouquet, silky smooth, full-bodied but not too heavy, rich and creamy, great on its own or with a meaty dish.

Very dark ruby color. Ripe aromas and flavors of black/blue berries, black currants, black olive, black licorice, baking spices and vanilla. A mocha/coffee note on the very long finish. Extremely complex. Low acidity and ripe tannins. Concentrated and powerful.
