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.

Tried a few vintages at the winery (worth a trip, the tapas there were amazing) - this was my favourite. Acid, tannin and fruit in perfect balance. Smooth and long blackcurrant finish. Fantastic Ribera.

A delicious Reserva, more blackberries and cherries than previous vintages. It shows the elegance of a Duero Reserva with a fresh and fruity twist. My only objection, the import price in America

Lovely wine with soft tannins and nice bit of earth and smoke on the finish
