This wine never lets down at its price point. Consistent results vintage to vintage. As dependable as Mariano Rivera in the 9th. — 10 years ago

2006 Vintage. Large and in charge. This wine is very showy offering a nose of nutmeg, sage, black cherry, black licorice, cedar, & fall leaves. Big Wine! Black cherry, rhubarb, raspberry, black berry, cassis, blueberry and dark chocolate. Great purity for being this powerful. Finish is long and fine tuned. — 11 years ago

A great wine that became much rounder and elegant than few years back but still quite powerful modern Ribera style, a big Tempranillo marked by oak that still need time to get smoother, better to open ahead and let breath - Mariano Garcia developed his winemaking reputation at Vega Sicilia before joining Aalto in partnership with Javier Zaccagnini. — 11 years ago

Medium bodied and good freshness, crushed fresh red and black fruit with good persistence and good structure.
Predicador spends only 3-4 months in bottle before release. 90k bottles of production which is more than usual in 2013 because they used most of of the production because of poor vintage conditions and did not make anything above the Cueva wine.
96% Tempranillo, 2% grenacha, 1% each Mazuelo & Gracias, 12 mos used oak barrel aging

Incredible. Smooth, perfect and just out of this world. From start to finish, this is a closer wine - on a date? This is your Mariano Rivera. Closing a sale? This is your triple axel perfect landing. Full bodied, mature red fruit notes with a wonderful finish. Seriously, this is why US passports have French in them. Get this and drink it! — 11 years ago
