My last bottle seemed to have a flaw in the wine that made it undrinkable. It wasn't like it was corked. Sometimes that can blow off. But in this case, it didn't even after a few days. The cork looked OK so I don't know what happened. Also, the fruit greatly diminished so I think it is past its peak. This is corroborated by reviewing my scores over time. Peak seams to be in the 2018-2019 time frame.

Wow! this is the embodiment of Ribera Del Duero. 1 hr to breath and it's ready to pour. Full bodied, bursting with dark fruit and spice, accented with earth and leather with sturdy but approachable tannins. Warm mouthfeel and a linger finish of spice an cedar. ready now, but big enough to go many more years

Just a great value. Tannins resolved into a rich cab-Tempranillo blend. Particularly good on day 2. Wish I had more.
