  Medium to full body, mixed red fruits and dried druit like prunes and figs. Light oak, vanilla, cellar smell. Smooth tannins but still shows some kick and nice acidity that cuts through fat and cleans yoir palate. This crianza is already 12 months in oak. Very impressive value from a top producer of Ribera del Duero

  Needed a nice decant, but good very afterward.

  The previous review is spot on. Light but evident tannin, red berrries and a little licorice. A nice cheese accompaniment in a warm climate, like the the Grill7 vino bar in Las Palmas where the sommelier said this was his best bottle.
  
  Upgraded from 89 to 90 because after an hour I really do like the swirling texture.

  De Fargues vertical + Nopa (Sense, Nopa): (blind)
  Medium plus concentration ruby-purple, vibrant.
  Nebbiolo structure slight black pepper. Dark tart blackberry. Earthy.
  Elevated acid. Grippy high tannins, chewy . 14.5%
  No new oak.
  Youthful.
  
  Carignane?
  Syrah?
  I’m very confused here.
  With the elevated alcohol and high tannins, and elevated acid, cabernet and nebbiolo are a possibility. but there’s no cassis or pyrazinic cabernet fruit character, no signs of new oak, and the color is completely wrong for nebbiolo (also doesn’t have the development of a barolo, barbaresco). Other tannic grapes: acid is too high for madiran, tannat, and other southern french tannic grapes. Could be new world syrah with intense extraction but the tannic structure is like nothing I’ve gotten on syrah before. there’s a hint of black pepper but the dark fruit isn’t really there in an intense enough way for a new world syrah.
  No final call - I don’t have a box to put this in.
  
  actually: 2011 pago de los capellanes, ribera del duero crianza (tempranillo)

  Red Wine from Ribera del Duero, dark color, dark fruit flavours, strong peper notes, tobaco, very present tannis.
  Still a very young wine in my opinion, better if is decanted a hour or more before, very good option do pair with a nice beef dish.
