Has mild bret on the bouquet which is not bad at all. Good acidity and structure. Overoaked, with medium weight. Secondary flavor, not very focused or particular. Overall, good wine for the price.

Very funky nose and still remains there even on 2nd day. Wine though tastes fine. Medium to full body. Mixed black and red fruits. Sour cherry and leather evident. Quite fruity with sweet tannins and some acidity showing up on the finish. Fairly solid structure. Better on day 2 - flavors are more balanced - 89 on day 2.

Good nose of prunes that has just a touch of alcohol hotness upon inhale. Smooth, balanced and approachable mid palate. Somewhat fruity for a Ribera. Moderate finish. Good wine. Opened for 2 hrs and consumed in Riedel Bordeaux glass
