Tinto Crianza Ribera del Duero Tempranillo Blend 2020

Delectable Wine
9.2

The 2020 Crianza is 100% Tempranillo from Pedrosa del Duero in Ribera del Duero. Garnet-red with a purple sheen. The nose presents blackcurrant and sour cherry notes along with wild herbs and hints of blood. Dry and juicy, the well-calibrated tannins are neither overly extractive nor too rigid, establishing an energetic, fluid palate with a gentle, long-lasting, lactic mouthfeel. This is an elegant take on Ribera. (Joaquín Hidalgo, Vinous, November 2023)

Unico Ribera del Duero Tempranillo Blend 1924

The noise in this is amazing given its age. Dark plum, mocha, some funk, some wild brambly fruit, a hint of acetone. In the palate this is still rich and has some iodine and dark minerality. Unbelievable given its age. What an incredible testament to Unico. Delicious — 5 days ago

It’s spectacular in the glass. The power of the midpalate is astonishing given the age. It’s fantastic… I think in the pre Cabernet and pre oak days but maybe someone with the knowledge can clarify that. What a treat. I was worried it’d be a dud
