The 2007 Valdegatiles is also a single vineyard selection of Tinto Fino aged for 19 months in French oak. Deep purple-colored, it has a splendid perfume of incense, violets, espresso, mineral, and black cherry. This leads to an extracted, packed effort with loads of savory black fruit, 3-4 years of aging potential, and a lengthy, pure finish. Drink this outstanding offering from 2013 to 2027 if not longer.
The 2007 vintage was variable in Ribera del Duero but Dominio de Atauta produced solid wines.
