2005 Alonso del Yerro Ribera del Duero

Quite evolved. Tastes more like a 95 than 2005.
Tertiary flavours, comes across as unbalanced, the alcohol protrudes. Better on the nose than palate. Last bottle from a case and it’s the least enjoyable.

Probably past peak. Showed its alcohol on day 1 with some high toned VA notes. Seemed better on day 2 but not as stunning as Moose can be.
(looking at my notes on this wine it appears to be quite a lottery. Two left, here's hoping!)

This was a beautiful example of classic claret.
Cool restrained fruit. Elegant and classic. None of the harshness one might expect with 95. The palate was smooth and resolved, harmonious. No rush to drink. Wish I had more (93)
