Similar to its younger brother, the top-of-the-range 2016 Corimbo I shows superbly, more old style Ribera del Duero, with power and rusticity but also elegance and balance. It has a nose that is complex and subtle, floral and spicy. It's medium-bodied and balanced, with a chalky texture and velvety mouthfeel. It's still a little tannic, but the tannins are fine and elegant and should benefit from some more time in bottle. This has to be one of the finest vintages they have produced in Ribera del Duero.

The powerful and concentrated 2015 Corimbo I feels classical and showcases the character of the vintage and the depth of the old-vine Tempranillo. It's ripe without excess and reveals abundant tannins and a long, dry finish. This year, the wine matured for 14 months in French and American oak barrels, approximately half of them new. 32,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in September 2017.

This balanced red shows a polished texture and a solid structure, with a mix of black cherry and blackberry fruit, complemented by sanguine, mineral and toasty notes. Drink now through 2020. 4,000 cases made, 200 cases imported.??–TM??Region: Spain / Ribera del Duero Select to Add
