We opened this beautiful Ribera with steak and at the start of it's "drinking window". It's immediately sings fro the glass with medium+ aroma of blue berries, elegant vanilla, tobacco leaf, skin and light earth minerality. After some aeration aroma reveals eastern fragrances and jam. On the palate wine very balanced and 15% of alc. just can't seen. Good and very integrated acidity, complexity and long aftertaste.

Another young wine this week (formerly Pintia 2015). From Pago de los Capellanes in Ribera del Duero and their wine El Nogal 2015. 100% Tempranillo as it should be, 22 months in French oak barrels. It took 5-6 hours before the acid harmonized with the fruit, then you begin to understand the greatness of this wine. Dark red color, but a lovely combo between red and blue berries. The next bottle must rest for at least 3-5 years in the cellar.

Reserva of pago de los capellanes. 100% tempranillo, aged for 22 months in new French oak barrels. Great aroma, should be kept for few years I belive in the cellar, but great potential

Wow! Had high expectations and it delivered! Decanted but tried a small glass before airing. Nose: reminds me of lingon berries, plum, dark exotic spices Taste: great before airing, but amazing after a few hours and accompanied by entrecôte. The tannins are smooth, but the high alcohol (15%) and the acidity gives excellent structure. It's rich - prune, cherry, juniper, light oak and liquorice, cloves, cinnamon. It's like velvet - caressing you with smooth dark flavors, but has that hint of dryness to hold it all together. Oh, I love this wine! I'll buy more tomorrow to keep for special occasions
