This wine is epic, everything from texture, to fruit, to balance, the structure is all there throughout. Just a super well-made wine from a great producer.

Perhaps one of the most elegant Ribera's I have ever had! A wine from one of the few 'terroirst' in Spain
Highly recommended.

Historical Ribera de Duero with an uncertain an unconditional sense of truth and elegance.

This rocked my boat. Wood fire, sweet ripe red and black fruit, ultra smooth, long. Great on it’s own. Helped us through a quite disastrous movie.

Wonderful nose, intense and slightly sweet in the mouth. A big wine, tasty and well-made, but missing some sense of place for me.

On reconnaît l'expertise de Thelmo Rodriguez. Sa formation dans le bordelais est perceptible. Note de fruits mûrs. Bel équilibre. Tout ce que l'on veut d'un vin. 2004.

Out of the gate, redolent of Cabernet, but with more lithe, beautiful fruit. Well integrated oak. After some air, baking spice, and great texture.
