Had at the Abadia Retuerta winery in Ribera del Duero, Spain. Most interesting of the wines we tasted. The nose has green pepper/pyrazine and smoked chilis. The palate is also chili powder dominant with chocolate, red clay, cool blueberry. Spice on tongue and back of mouth lingers. Clean, quality made wine. With the right food and guests, this has the potential to be a unique wine of the night.

Smoke. Elegance. Finesse. Understated and VERY good. Big future ahead.
Strong elements of their entry wine, which, after 8-10 years is absolutely fantastic and costs 30-35% of this one:)

Quite young and tanic, but still smooth and full bodied. Not much oak, very dark and rich in color.
