In short modern forward generic wine. The extraction is there, the fwd fruit, the oak, the roundness and so is the lack of complexity. Has that lactic almost note of oak. Enjoyable but not memorable or inspiring.86 drink at will.

Decent stuff that is ready for action right now. Crunchy red fruit with a under current of meaty notes and vanilla. Lacks the depth of better wines from this region, but one to enjoy over tapas.

We had this wine with pizza and it was a great choice. The nose was slight, with blackberry notes. The palate was filled with fruit, not overwhelming but just right. The soft dark fruit balanced well with the acidity from the tomato sauce in the pizza. Great value, I will defiinitely purchase this again.

90% tino finto 10% cabernet savignon. A lovely Ribera del duero crianza. Elegance, velvet, long aftertaste.

Rich concentration with deep purple color. Has good complexity for the price. Rustic and tannic at the present. It should be better in 2-4 years.
