Sipping Fine Wine

8.9

Deep Ruby with aromas of dark red fruits, spice and floral notes. On the palate flavors of plum and black cherry with licorice, tea and spice notes. Fine tannins, lively acidity, medium(+) finish ending with fruit, slight alcohol burn and savory spice. Nice value, drink now! — 4 years ago

Wow! Fabulous from very old Tempranillo vines in Roa Del Duero. The Esteban family maintains their 60 ha of vines meticulously using extensive biodynamic practices and precise winemaking. It shows in the wine. Black fruit and currants meld harmoniously with hints of tobacco, coffee, licorice, and mineral. The texture is rich; the concentration of fruit is dense. This is a seriously good bottle of wine that WS gave 96 pts. 2016 vintage on Feb 11, 2020 — 6 years ago
