Probably drinking at peak. This a beautifully aged Ribera with classic profile. Earthy leather and tobacco over cherry on a nose taken to the next level with melted licorice. Nice mouthful of cherry and plum, with dusty tannins. Long finish with the leather and tobacco making a return. Beautiful performance.

Rich and delicious. Open and decanted 1.5 hours. Nice structure and evolved over the next two hours. Ready to drink.
