Popped and poured; enjoyed over two days. Best on Day 2 after it brightened up. The 2008 pours a deep garnet with a near opaque core; medium+ viscosity with moderate staining of the tears and signs of sediment. On the nose, the wine is vinous with notes of blackberry compote, coffee, Werther’s Chocolate, tobacco leaf, leather, teriyaki, demi-glace, and dry earth. On the palate the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes on the nose. The finish is long and slightly savory. This is delicious and has to be one of the great values in Ribera del Duero. Drink now through 2032+. — 4 hours ago

Прекрасный темпранильо 1995 года. Уже немного подуставший. Выпито у меня дома в Лимассоле вместе с Саввасом и Юлией. 24.02.24 грустный день. — 2 months ago

Crazy weekend and another crazy wine. Didnt see this coming. I always imagined this wine tasting completely different...massive and concentrated. In truth it was insanely smooth and silky...balanced and rounded. Nothing massively showy or crazy...just perfect refinement. An amazing experience — a day ago

Not lucky. Twice as lucky. Cheers. 18 was the better tasting vintage. Better balanced, softer tannins, and brighter. Cheers. — a month ago
