Tasted blind. Woah, funky, earthy, plum, old wood, roasted meat, decay nose that immediately reminds me of Pesquera before I even taste it. Palate is smoky, very peppery, has an attractive sweet/sour acidity. Gutsy, well made wine and I was certain it was a Pesquera Reserva. Oh well, close enough.
Tasted blind. Funky nose-animalistic, grilled game, mud, and ranch leather. Palate is different-refined, mature. Silky, soft plum fruit. Some undertones of white pepper, actually. Lingering cherry/plum finish that coats your mouth. There are stages to go through with this wine. Take your time because it will take you to a pleasurable place.

A great Ribera. Lots of fruit, balanced, but will benefit from more time in the cellar - too bad I do not have another.
