Community Tasting Note

Friday, April 3, 2020 - Well my best friend and his wife had twins yesterday so I needed something to open in their honour and of course we are in lock down so- what is in the cupboard? Figures it was about time to broach this one. Lovely medium bodied nose. Still very fragrant, even after being open a day. Classic Tempranillo fruit. Clear oak, but it has subsided into a gentle supporting role. A bit of leather too, with just a touch of varnish but not detracting. Very fresh on the palate, even freshening up with air. Juicy red berries. A bit of savoury complexity. In excellent shape. Drinking very well now, but no rush to finish up.

I typically have mixed views on Ribera del Duero (a lot of over-ripe, soupy wines with too much oak and too many dollars in the price tag) but this is frankly lovely.
