Two years later this wine is a lot more refined and elegant. Pleasing nose of light oak, berry, lavender. Cherry, berry, cedar spicebox on the palate, excellent balance, with great mouthfeel and fairly long finish. Drinking great right now but still has several years to go.

From memory: Ripe black fruit, liquorice, vanilla and spices on the nose and palate. Rich and concentrated, but comes across as surprisingly fresh and lightfooted due to a near perfect measure of balancing acidity. A fine Ribera that should drink well for at least another three to four years. Very nice!
