Delicious. Needed a good decant but in my opinion soared above the Rabaja.

Rich Ripe sweet fruits of cherries. Sexy even. The tannins are on the finish after trying this wine. Great mouthfeel. CB 92 Rio Sordo Cru

Last had 2 years ago. In a good place, not sure what more time will yield. Decanted a couple hours and paired with fennel rubbed pork chops. Quite seamless. Really nice fruit and a long finish with a nice acid / mineral / saline core that provides for a long finish and makes it a great food wine.

Nov 16th, 2022Really a very nice riserva from the good folks at produttori. Last had the 11 Rio Sordo over a year ago, and this bottle is little different - would wait another 3-5 years before another. Decanted 3.5 hours. Darker in the glass than I expected. Wonderful dark red fruit and flowers and a bit of muddle on the nose. Tannins are pretty formidable - but quite nice with some pork chops. Long finish and just the hint of that lifting menthol note that I love.

Apr 10th, 2022Just delicious and in a great spot, though certainly no rush. Continued to improve with more air. Lots of dark cherry and earth. Beautiful full mouthfeel, tannins are present but integrated, great acidity, hint of a refreshing menthol note on the finish. Excellent with lamb.

First impression, a wonderfully complex wine with layers, evolved into Balsamic under tow with all spice, and green tea awash on sour cherries and rose blossom, bound in old leather
