Big, powerful, but balanced. One of the benchmark Riberas showing the genius of Peter Sisseck.

My favorite Spanish wine. Lots of heat and power yet still perfectly balanced. Really proves that Ribera can produce world class wines not named Pingus. Cheers to Carlos de la Fuente, el bodegero.

seems like a Cote Rotie looks like a cherry Coke. Intense aromas of ink, black olives and smoked meats.
