Dark berry and kernel to the palate. Clarity of fruit on the palate the the 09 Gomez Cruzado, kind of, muddled up. Real dark fruit here. Drinking well now, but not sure this has a long life ahead. I mean, it is just Crianza. All the same, lots of oak still shows on the finish, perhaps it just needs time. I'm conflicted. Apparently.

Rich nose with ripe, sweet, red fruit and some oak . Almost fullbodied with velvety tannins and a nice warm finish. Very good qpr! 89 p.
Second bottle 20170122 I really like this wine. Even better now. Full-bodied with lots of sweet, rípe red and dark fruit, spices and tertiary aromas of the oak (like choclate). Soft tannins give the wine structure and the orangelike acidity creates harmony and balance among all that tasty fruit. Excellent!

Still red wine with garnet color and medium intensity.
On the nose its clean with medium plus intensity. Aromas of fruit, flowers and oak. Blackcurrant, violet, plums, vanilla and red cherry. Developing.
On the palate its dry with medium acidity, medium plus alcohol, medium body, medium plus flavor intensity. Flavor of fruit, flowers and oak. Blackcurrant, red cherry, strawberry and vanilla.
Medium plus finish, very good quality, serious wine. Benchmark wine for a Ribera del Duero. Can drink now but has potential for ageing.

Dark blueish red color; sweet nose, quite pungent
On palate serious, not overly oaken and not too much of the "in your face" style.
Bouquet is best.
