Black cherry, plum, blackberry, and chocolate aromas backed by hints of vanilla and coconut. Palate is dry and presents flavours of plum, blackberry, cassis plus earthy notes, vanilla and subtle oak. Still some rough edges and mild heat in the finish.

Black cherry, plum, blackberry, and chocolate aromas backed by hints of vanilla and coconut. The palate is dry and presents flavours of plum, blackberry, cassis plus earthy notes coalesced with vanilla and subtle oak. Still some rough edges and mild heat in the finish. 15% ABV.

Nice tempranillo from RdD. Fruit forward and jammy on the nose. Comes with more dark fruit and what i can only describe as menthol. On the taste there's a fair amount of tannins and medium acidity,cassis, oak. Lacking a little bit of the fruityness on the palate but otherwise well rounded.

From 45 year old vines, this is hand sorted and sees eighteen months in mainly French oak. Mid red, purple flecked but not overly dense in hue. Classic fruit-driven Tempranillo nose, showing blood plum, cherry, and grilled meats. The winery suggests “balsamic and toasted notes” and that seems fair as well. Despite the alcohol (fifteen percent abv) this has a pleasing balance, avoiding the soupy nature of some Ribera’s, although there is definitely some more baked/dark fruit flavors on the finish. Overall, pretty decent. Perfectly fine to drink now, I am sure a couple more years at least will see improvement.
