  April 28, 2024 - Popped and poured; enjoyed over two days. Best on Day 2 after it brightened up. The 2008 pours a deep garnet with a near opaque core; medium+ viscosity with moderate staining of the tears and signs of sediment. On the nose, the wine is vinous with notes of blackberry compote, coffee, Werther’s Chocolate, tobacco leaf, leather, teriyaki, demi-glace, and dry earth. On the palate the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes on the nose. The finish is long and slightly savory. This is delicious and has to be one of the great values in Ribera del Duero. Drink now through 2032+.

  December 3, 2021 - Lovely textured wine, full of flavor and interest. Mature now, with beautiful ripe red fruit and perfect balance. Nothing out of place or strident, it's just right on point and drinking beautifully.

  April 16, 2020 - Red cherry and cinnamon aromas, meaty and full with crunchy acidity. Maturing tannins but maintains a solid backbone. This wine has turned out very well, very tasty, though its finish is not great. It was a perfect match to paella.
