  First bottle tried from this producer.
  Clearly a more "modern" style with plenty of extraction and little acidity.
  This was undoubtedly drinking better 5-10 years ago.
  The Tempranillo character is there but in a slightly "heavy footed" way; surely a reflection of the 2003 vintage.
  Doesn't have the elegance and balance of a Pesquera but is more like a "Mauro"
  drink up.

  First of six bottles purchased on release. No notes taken, but this showed really well upon first opening and then seemed to fade over the ensuing two hours. After a disastrous '01 the night before, I'm thinking I should drink the rest of these sooner rather than later.

  A very nice Ribera wine which should be drank now. In my opinion a little past its prime but still a very nice food wine

  A very smooth wine with red fruit. Medium finish and goes well with almost any meat dish.

  Minneapolis wine club: Ribera del Duero vs. Priorat (Kristen's House): Nice wine overall with spice, leather, cherry, and coffee beans on the nose. The palate shows similar character and the finish is medium. Well made wine and drinking window is less than five years. Decanted one hour.
