The 2009 Mibal Joven was sourced from 100% organically farmed Tempranillo fermented and aged in stainless steel. From the outstanding 2009 vintage, it offers up an exceptionally perfumed nose of Asian apices, lavender, black cherry, and blackberry. Savory, ripe, nicely proportioned, and lengthy on the palate, it is a pure expression of 2009 fruit at a bargain price. Miguel Hornillos and Javier Ballesteros have combined their vineyard holdings to produce first-class, fairly priced wines from Ribera del Duero.
