Ho! Amaze-balls. New worldy... Typical style but sublimely delicious. Depth and balance.

Showing better 2nd say than 1st? Perhaps. Beautiful balance, would love to try this with another 5-10 years aging. #riberadelduero

It is delicious. Should have legs based on tight structure. Flavor is big but still good food wine. I forgot to eat and just drank and nibbled.

Great depth with time to further unfold and extract. Still a bit tight with notes cherry, Forrest floor and dark plums.
Will keep a bottle to hold for 2-3 more years... Got time to age!
