Big, powerful, but balanced. One of the benchmark Riberas showing the genius of Peter Sisseck.

My favorite Spanish wine. Lots of heat and power yet still perfectly balanced. Really proves that Ribera can produce world class wines not named Pingus. Cheers to Carlos de la Fuente, el bodegero.

Leather, tar, smoke. Gorgeous. Enjoying 5 x bottle with Tom Muir et al @ Craigie in Cambridge.

One solid example of great Rioja. Could use a few more years in the cellar.
