2008 Bodegas Alejandro Fernández Ribera del Duero Tinto Pesquera ReservaTempranillo more |
2/8/2021 - AndrewR wrote: 91 pointsFeels like I missed the peak a few years ago but this is still lip smacking and flat out delicious. Blows away most Bordeaux twice its price and tastes like nervy espresso chocolate and blueberries (not in a goopy way). Ideal for grilled steaks and a great switch if youre a cali cab or bdx addict. |
