Really fantastic. Smoky, cigar box and chocolate, dark fruit, and a nice mineral backbone. — 8 years ago
I got cumin and cedar upfront on the nose. Incredibly mature and round tannins for a wine with only 3-4 months oak aging. Just quality #tempranillo #riberadelduero — 9 years ago
2007 vintage tasted in 2016. LOTs of pepper. Deep fruit still holding up. Tannins still there too. Going nicely with our taco dish with Mexican spices — 9 years ago
Dark but pale ruby red color with nice aromas of ripe black fruits, smoke, and strong sweet herbs. Medium-to-full-bodied with fantastic taste of ripe black cherry, mulberry, black pepper, and load of sweet spices like holy basil. Bright acidity, fine tannins, and nice spicy finish. Feel like Neo-Spanish wine. Good value & Like it. — 10 years ago
Unfiltered Chards are always fun. This one presented a cloudy yellow stone fruit experience. Neo-Soul would be a perfect match. — 7 years ago

Vino joven con gran proyección — 8 years ago
A rare vintage where the Americans and the Europeans were in agreement that it was a five star year. Powerful yet elegant made in a neo-classical style that's pleasing from the first sip. Typical aromas of dried morello cherry, black tea, rosemary, plum, soy intermingle into a palate layered with delicious, refined cooperage that tastes decadent with every sip. Tons of complexity and character without any bitter bite or over assertive ripe fruit. 2 plants to make one bottle of this world class riserva. A beautiful testament to applied effort and viticultural knowledge. — 9 years ago
