Solid bottle from one of Ribera’s top producers. Dark fruit coming through with some spiciness in the finish. Will hopefully gain complexity with some more age.

Concentrated but not as full as I had expected. Lots of leather, tobacco and herbs on the nose. On the palate it is rich and fruity with freshening acidity and dryish tannins. The herbs dominates the finish.
