The wine looks purple colored. The legs are medium. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like red currant, mineral and mushroom. It tastes like walnut. The body is medium/full. The wine has silky texture. The wine finishes long. The wine has medium acidity.

Som sammet med mörka bär. Tanninerna finns där men märks knappt, ger bara en perfekt liten strävhet så att det blir ett vin och inte en saft. Förföriskt och väldigt drickbart just nu men klarar säkert minst 5 år till i denna fina form.

Medelfylligt med både röda och blåa bär. Habilt, balanserat matvin som i ärlighetens namn inte gjorde något större intryck. Skulle kunna ligga till sig ett par år.

Very primal and fruit forward wine without the necessary oak or secondary development that makes a well rounded wine. Would much prefer a Rioja. Kind of a disappointment for the price. Pass

The wine is clear and bright with a medium ruby colour.
The nose is clean and developing, showing medium(+) intensity aromas of red fruit (ripe strawberries), dark fruit (dark plums jam, ripe dark cherries), pungent spices (liquorice), oak (vanilla, cinnamon) and bottle ageing (tobacco).
The wine is dry in the mouth with a medium acidity. It has medium(+) fine-grained tannins and a high alcohol. It has a medium(+) body and pronounced intensity flavours of red fruit (ripe strawberries), dark fruit (dark plums jam, ripe dark cherries), pungent spices (liquorice), oak (vanilla, cinnamon) and bottle ageing (tobacco). The finish is long.
It is an outstanding quality wine. It has a lingering finish and a great flavour concentration well-balanced by the alcohol. It also shows some complexity provided by oak and bottle ageing notes.
Can drink now, but it has enough tannic structure and flavour concentration to develop more tertiary aromas over the next 3-5 years.

Soft round well delineated fruit and most importantly acidity level that was pleasant to drink. Dominio de Atauta is off the reservation (east) of Aranda del Duero so it's much different than the rest of Duero wines. I think the upticked acidity level and shyness of fruit represent that.

superb fresh nose, cherry, on the palate despite the very high Alc.- grading (14,8%!) a mineralic and very fresh appearance, some blackberries, cherry again, midweight body, tight, very elegant, still very young, long finish, impressive bottle, will keep and improve for more than five years, I like the style of this bodega! for me many other wines from RdelD are too heavy on the palate with a too sweet and enormous fruit, **(*+-*), 90- 92+?

Very impressive - this has the depth of fruit of a Ribera del Duero, but also a deftness and lightness that is often missing from wines from this region. Lots of cherries, meat, black fruit and very fine tannins. Impressive.

True RdD expression. Better than my last bottle. Dark berries, vanila, earth, leather notes. Low acidity. Not for the long haul.

Great wine, but not sure that it is better than the “smaller” parada de atauta

Medium bodied, some sweetness. Cherries. Less tension. Not very special. Drink it now.
Update during the evening: with some air the wine improves.

This wine is getting better and better. Tertiary aromas started to arise but still fruity. A very long finish. This is the time to drink it!

Sweet, abundant cherry balances the tannins of this surprising Temperanillo. Enjoy this medium bodied dry wine with lighter meats and cheeses.

Mogen röd och mörk frukt, varm känsla, kryddig, lakrits, viol, lite syltig utan överdriven sötma eller alkohol. Trevligt vin!

I do also like this more elegant style, not your typical Ribera. Good QPR and although it can be enjoyed now, will open the next bottle in 2 years...

Offline w/the current Mr and Mrs Jaines (London, UK): This is an ultra elegant Tempranillo made from 200 yr old vines. It is quite the anti-thesis of Numanthia's head-crushing muscleman Tempranillos.
Pure, distinct, elegant, youth that is no rascal, but an exceptionally well educated and soft spoken gentleman already.
For the last btl, we will wait until ~2025.
