Plum ruby red, nuanced and subtle with an emphasis on fragrance and lift, violet, peony, rose, finessed tannins, poise and intensity, raspberry and redcurrant fruit. Savoury, subtle, joyful. I love seeing what Telmo Rodriguez can do in Ribero del Duero, and so will you. He's been producing this wine since 1998, with the grapes from the northern area of Sotillo de la Ribera down to Pardilla in the south, 11 vineyards covering 21.5ha across five different villages. Native yeast fermentation.
97/100 Jane Anson

(Ribera Del Duero DO; from a blend of Tinto Fino, Navarro, Valenciano, Albillo and other varietals sourced from the best sites in Sotillo de la Ribera, Roas, Fuentecén, Fuentemolinos and Pardilla; fermented in oak vats and tanks with indigenous yeasts; aged for 14 months in French oak barrels; 14.5% alcohol). This has great presence and intensity. We’re immediately transported to the crypt or the cathedral. Myrrh, incense, patchouli, molten candle wax. Broad and dense, impressively layered and compact too. Fine-grained but very tactile tannins that get between the layers and structure the gently tapering parameters of the flow of the wine over the palate. Impressive. A true vin de garde. Serious but with great freshness and dynamism.
