6 years later... I taste this Ribera again. The nose is immediate with notes of plum, leather, havana, vanilla. It’s salivating! The palate is incredibly soft and lines the taste buds like silk.In the end the bouquet explodes and the persistence is long. Formidable bottle able of competing with Cuesta de las Liebres and Vega Unico... Too bad this cuvée no longer exists.

This vintage is a success. The nose on black fruits, fig, mocha, spicy is direct and addictive.The mouth continues these addictive sensations with fine tannins a velvet texture with a fresh finish. The persistence is extraordinary. This is a world class syrah able of competing with Reva d'Alban Estate,Sandscrub de Rusden or with the La,La,La de Guigal. One of the best in my cellar.

I'm sorry but this is definately not my cup of tea! It's a bordeaux-like california's wine. I'm not seeking for a bordeaux. I can find Moulis or St Julien wines for 40$ at that level. Please show me your identity! I prefer Maybach,Plumpjack, Phelps, Stag'Leap WInes Cellars, O'Shaughnessy, Pahlmeyer.They are talking to me about California. I'm so disapointed.
