Great value! Can’t get enough of this 2017 vintage in Ribera and Rioja when is well made. A fresh, rainy year. Expressive nose of blackcurrant, cherries, a hint of well handled oak, good length. Not too complex (sort of entry level to the winery, which encourages you to the higher level) but once again great value — 4 years ago

I made notes on this and lost them. Drank this a week ago. Refer to previous Delectable note. I recall a dense full bodied wine showing black fruits. A rich Tempranillo from Ribera del Duero. One of the 1001 wines. — 4 months ago
