A splendid Ribera del Duero with still great evolution potential. One of the best "buys" you can get with such an extraordinary price/quality. Typical Spanish taste, which will open its full potential after 30 minutes breathing.

nose: fairly oaked on thenose with cedar tones, coffee, black cherries, smoke tones, and black berries. Slightly heavy handed, but provides nice depth on the nose
taste: fuller bodied with firm tannins and bold tones of cedar, coffee, black cherries, anise, and black berries. Rich without being fruit forward, there's certainly a heaviness to it and the texture is fairly rich too
overall: a very good wine. Slightly heavy handed, but good nonetheless

still many years in it, the substance is there, but (far) too much wood for my style

Dense and grainy, with strong red fruits and depth. Solid QPR.
