Low energy, low complexity, very international, just not at all my style, but drinking very well right now if you like this kind of thing—really soft silky tannins, not showing its alcohol at all, some sweetish vanilla berry fruit.

Deep dark garnet red, nose is a bit tight upon opening. Best to open a bit before drinking could use a decant. Dark fruit, blueberries, chocolate, luxardo cherries. Medium to high tannins. Could use a bit more time in the cellar. Drank 1/3 put it aside and will try again tomorrow but nice wine.

Dark red, almost purple. On the nose: baking spices, leather, red and black fruit. Medium tannins offset by nice acidity. Loads of bright cherries. Very good QPR

Decanted for 2 hours. Lots of licorice, sweet black fruit, clay, touch of graham cracker. A touch hot.
Plush tannins, good balance...Alcohol less pronounced on the palate than the nose.
This is a very pleasant wine and showing well now. I'm also hopeful this will hold up well for some time and I am eager to see how this evolves. Only have one more bottle, so I'll aim to revisit in the second half of the decade. 90-94pts

Awesome wine. Full of flavour, great on the nose and better on the palate. I left the wine open 30 min before tasting and it was an indredible surprise!!! I got it at WineLibrary. Totally agree with the review at Wine&Spirits. It was scored by them with 96 and I have to say that for me this is one of the great surprises of the year. Never have heard about this wine but WOW!!!!
One of my Spanish fav!!!!

Red berries, spices, forest floor on the nose. Cherry and raspberry, nice acidity, soft tannins. Again, excellent QPR

Excellent RBD! Incredible QBR for $23 on Wine Text. I let it sit in decanter for 90 min before touching and wow. It held strong until the 4 hour mark.

Smoke, leather, good finish. Complex and a bit of spice. Much much better after sitting for 30+ minutes

Great. Give 30 mins decant. Dark fruits. Long finish. Silky mouthfeel. This is as good of a Ribera as any out there.

Drinking great now, but let it breathe for a few hours and it really evolves. Excellent Tempranillo.
