Very impressed with the balance and resilience of this wine. It did not hold up for long - only a couple hours, but really good just a few minutes after pulling the cork.

A very enjoyable drink. Unplanned wine for Xmas day that really drank well. Lovely freshness of fruit with good acidity. Complemented Christmas dinner pretty well as it wasn’t too heavy. Nice to have seen this evolve so well and still has life for a good few years yet.

After having 3 Rioja's it was cool to move to Ribera del Duero. More olive notes and muddy earth, red fruits, cured wood and a good dose of tea. Not quite the acids of the Rioja's but very balanced.

Two bottles today that had rather flat taste and minimal aroma. Are they both early corked?
