Loved this Ribera, particularly after the disappointment of the 2016s I tasted, which I found uninspiring. The 2020, however, restored my faith in this producer—rich, long and already approachable, with just the right oak notes on the finish. This one can be consumed now, though it will continue to develop over the next several years. An excellent Ribera!!

Wow! Now this is what I call a spectacular Spanish Toro wine—full-bodied, yes, but balanced, rich, with excellent fruit and a long, complex finish; it’s also still plenty lively and showing plenty of energy for a 2012. Sadly, this is my last bottle of this Spanish gem, and it is drinking incredibly well righ now!

This one was a pleasant surprise—savory, rich, with a lingering finish. My first experience with this producer, and I’m a fan…nice!
