Sunday, March 13, 2011 - Quite nice, although very young -- big nose of spice, oak, black fruit, and a hint of leather. The palate was quite rich with firm tannins; black fruit with a touch of chocolate on the finish.
Having just tasted through some older Riberas, my sense is that this wine could stand a few years laying down before it expresses itself fully. That said, the price is right for a wine that will pair with food or stand on its own. Well done.
