Reserva Ribera del Duero Tempranillo

This was a bodybuilder not a muscle head.
Everything about this wine was muscular, and sculpted. Very well proportioned. Could have used hours in the decanter not the 30 minutes we gave it. Fans of this style of wine will love it..

After loving their white a few weeks back (posted 14 Jan) I had to try their red 😁 Yes another gem from @gabymeetswine @vilaviniteca for €58. Young but drinking well with Mrs E’s Fillet 🥩 in peppercorn sauce with 🍟

Ripe fruit, rustic, rich, and ready Ribera del Duero from the now certified organic maker. Just entering it's happy time. Resounding success given the vintage.

Ready. Pair with 85% dark chocolate.

New house fav. Big darn blueberry with chovolate . Dark ink does not overpower this Ribero del Duero with fruit from aged Vines..

Big wine. dark purple ink with hint of cherries and chocolate cake . Maybe overpowered a pasta dish but beautiful nonetheless

Exceptional. Best Ribera under 100.

Spectacular
