WOTN at blind RBD tasting, beating out two Vega’s and other high quality names. Similar notes to Easter - excellent structure, balance power, good acidity. Classic RBD that lives up to the Gran Reserva billing. (65 views)

Oustanding from top to bottom. Well structured classic RBD with balance and power but also freshness and good acidity. 3 hour decant really enabled it to show well on Easter with dinner. Feels like it will go for years and years. (52 views)

Plush, with black fruits and firm tannins with a real savoury quality. Spicy with notes of coconut and tobacco developing a silky smooth texture. In spite of its weight I found this well balanced with an excellent lingering finish. CHP 90 pts (114 views)

Still youthful and vigorous, tight and tannic. There was black cherry seasoned with spice and oak. A savoury style with sweet fruit and quite a warm finish. A little too fierce at this stage of it’s life. CHP 86 pts (86 views)

Fresh evergreen fruit to it. And super juicy and lively on the palate. Really bright and fresh. (390 views)

Lean and linear, lively. Dried cherry fruits, tart, perhaps even some cranberry. Second day better. Better with food. Farewell, my last bottle. This one has years of life left. Would be interesting to taste this in 20 years, in its senility. (267 views)

Bit flat and underwhelming with unintegrated oak. Did get much better and rounder on day 2 however, so maybe I just drunk this 10yrs too early. (105 views)

By the glass. El Corte Inglés selection.
Bodegas Hermanos Pérez Pascuas.
100% Tinto Fino that spends nine months in American and French oak barrels of different uses. On the nose some notes of orange blossom, balsamic herbs, wild red berries and spices stand out. On the palate it is a medium-bodied wine with a silky texture, excellent acidity, tannic finish and a fresh retronasal. Representative.

I like it, just! prunes plums and herbs, dark colour no fading on rim, full meaty mouthful a bit to tannic still and acidity still prevelant, probably needs a bit more time, maybe to much of a good thing here and it had a three hour decant, a bit to much going on for me but others will love it.

100% Tempranillo from Ribera Del Duero, per RP this has aged in bottle since 2012, presumably aged in American for some time between 2009-2012. Enjoying half today and half tomorrow.

Day 1: The wine is brick red with some browning in it. Pretty translucent. Shows a bit of age. On the nose there’s iodine, a lot of roasted mushroom/umami, a hint of stewed dark fruits too. Really interesting, complex, savory nose. With more air it became very chocolatey on the nose. On the palate it’s savory, well structured with chewy tannins and no detectable alcohol. With air it’s getting more savory, delivering on the mushroom/truffley quality from the nose. Have to really dig for the fruit, it’s towards black cherry/fig. After an hour it’s getting very chocolatey, after 2 it’s showing more cooked figs/dark fruits on the palate. Chocolate/coconut finish leads me to believe American oak was involved here. Finish is long and pleasant, with the chocolate notes remaining on the palate for a while. Quite structured, medium+ body I would say. Still good acidity there too, I think this can continue to age nicely if you like chocolatey wines that show more fruit with a lot of air. Enjoyed on its own. Excited for day 2.

Day 2: looks and smells identical, I’m picking up a bit more alcohol on the nose. Still very chocolatey on the palate, a bit more prune/figs now though. Agree with the other poster that this takes a LONG time to show its fruits, but when it does it’s a beautiful bouquet of tart cherry and cranberry. Took about 2.5hrs on the second day. Nose is more or less unchanged, pretty chocolatey still. Very nice. (298 views)
