Beautiful ruby color with long legs - nose still very fruity with cassis and cherries with hints of cinnamon - flavor with fine tanins, mixture of berries and a little exotic fruits, smooth on the palate - good finish

This is a fantastic Ribeira. Has strong body, fruity flavor, fine tanins and a smooth finish. Both the 2011 and 2012 are excelente wines with maybe, a slight edge for the 2012. I had it with both a Brasato and a steak. Both times the pairing worked great.

Values in Ribera del Duero (Chris H's home): My WOTN and the groups #3. Dark purple in color. The nose has spice, cherries and some plums. Maybe some tobacco. On the palate, black cherries, and spice. Medium tannins. This has more of an old world feel to me with still having vibrant fruit. Good finish.
