Consistent with earlier notes. At start more red berries and some tannins. Maybe I'm not in the mood but expected more balance. Even after some time acidity and red berries too dominant. Will wait another year before open the last bottle.

At opening some grippy tannins and a bit closed. Lovely meatyness on the nose. After decanting and aerating for 1 hour a nice complexity appeared and tannins appeared as a dry tone. Will improve in the cellar but is good now.

Some acidity and tannins at opening. After decanting and aerating still some acids that disturbs. Still young and closed. Will let the other bottles rest at least another year or so.

Big fan of Ribera / Tempranillo in general, this delivered exactly what I was expecting. Aired for ca an hour, clear oak/vanilla with red berries and hint of cranberries

Here we are in front of another best-selling RdD textbook wine: red fruit poured into wood on the nose with notes of licorice and a tart acidity with a silky texture in the mouth. Just what one expects. Boring, monotonous and linear. Many people like this and I will not discuss the secret of its success.
Aquí estamos ante otro superventas RdD de manual: fruta roja enbalsamada en madera en nariz con notas de regaliz y una acidez ajustada con una sedosa textura en boca. Justo lo que uno espera. Aburrido, monótono y lineal. A mucha gente le gusta esto y no voy a discutir el secreto de su éxito.

Plenty of dark fruit, oak, tobacco and dust. Concentrated both on the nose and palate. Great to drink now and probably later as well.

Juicy and a rather light an elegant style for a Ribera without excessive wood.
