Day 1 Closed a.f. upon opening calling for some air. And this comes from someone who usually prefer to follow it all the way. Day 2 Pure milk chocolate bliss but not forgetting its dark fruit companionship I'd say 3-5 more years easily.

I like it. It’s been a while since I’ve had this wine. This is almost there - I’d recommend a long decant to soften things up a bit. More complexity in the mouth than the nose, at least for me. Mint, soft spices, pomegranate, crisp blackberries. Needs some time then 92-93?

This is a bit more fun since I last tasted it. Still lots of coconutty oak and big tannns but after a day open, surprisingly drinkable. Certainly not an elegant wine by any means. Needs a really long decant.

Really impressed. This is well structured with great balance and a charming nose, dark berry, spice, cocoa with little new wood character. After three or so days I do get a tiny touch of methional (and DMS too?), but it’s minor and seems to add depth at this level. Excellent Ribera.

Surprisingly good bottle of wine. Smooth, creamy texture, a little lactic, good concentration of dark fruits, almost full bodied, nice hint of vanilla, tobacco. Very well balanced. One of the best QPR.

Deep purple red. On the nose this offers deep plum, malty oak, vanillin, and a more purple fruit character. Feels appealing and generous and this carries through on the palate, which offers bright, sweet red and purple fruits, and closes with fairly relaxed, fuzzy tannins. A lovely fruit driven, medium bodied wine for enjoyment immediately. Pretty good value at c€18.

Deepish red, edge bluetinted. Medium bq w dark fruits, oak, spices (allspice, laurel), High acidity, fresh tannins, fruit now more 'red'. Medium aftertaste w some alcohol. Drinkable now, will last 3-5 yrs. Tastes of what it is, a Ribera for 20 Euros.

Quite intense bouquet black berries, chocolate and a bit smoke and yoghurt. Dry, biting tannins, good acidity, deep body and good structure. The fruit, though dark, has some lightness to it. Some sweetness in the back. Good length finish.
Keep.

색: 중심부 불투명한 중간 루비색. 림부분 얕음 향: 블루베리, 푸룬 등의 검은 과일향 먼저 오고 뒤이어 바닐라향. 삼나무향, 시가박스향, 카베르네 프랑에서 맡았던 류의 피망향, 감초 맛: 당도1, 산도2, 탄닌5, 알콜3, 바디5 당도는 거의 느껴지지 않고 산도는 미디엄-정도. 탄닌은 입에 머금고 구석구석 돌리자 꽈악 조여들기 시작해 머금고 나서도 한동안 놔주질 않는다. 부드럽다기 보단 약간 텁텁하다고 느낄 정도. 꽤 묵직한 풀바디 질감에 피니시도 30초 이상으로 긴편. 30분 정도 병브리딩+에어레이터로 따라 마셔도 여전히 빡빡한 탄닌. 2시간이 지나도 탄닌감엔 변화없음. 복합미 훌륭한 노즈는 좋으나 빡빡한 탄닌때문에 팔렛에선 취향과 달라 아쉬움..

Deutliche Gerbstoffe; rote, reife Früchte; bestimmt weich und rund, wenn ein paar Jahre auf Flasche; rauchige Note; eher zu Käse, Zigarre oder sehr kräftigem Braten

Sweetly oaky on the nose, toasty, meaty, there's a sort of cured meat note here, red cherries. Furry tannins, nice freshness, intense oaky notes of coconut, dark chocolate and spices. Dark cherry fruit. Oak feels a bit prominent at the moment. Needs time, I reckon, or a good decant. Poured from a Coravin which perhaps isn't the best way to appreciate this.

Purple. Open and ready from the start, but evolving from the opened bottle. Cherries, dark berries, smoky notes and hints of vanilla. Intensity with medium length. 5/12/16/8. -2026

Very good on the nose. Chocolate, suede leather, wet forest floor. A bit weaker taste but still good QPR.
