Clean and penetrating on the nose, with leather and warm berry/cherry aromas. Comes across bright and lively, with good balance and an appealing, easygoing set of wild berry and spice flavors. Shows length and follow-through on the finish. Very good for affordable RDD.——M.S.(12/15/2011)—— 88

Opens with candied berry and salinic aromas. It’s tough in its youth and also a little too funky to inspire much confidence for the future. Toughness in tannins; toughness in fruit; quite peppery on the finish. It just isn’t that inviting.——M.S.(8/1/2008)—— 84

This well-structured red shows concentration and balance, with black cherry, prune, espresso and mineral flavors over very firm tannins. Not flashy, but fresh and firm. Best from 2006 through 2013. 10,000 cases made, 2,000 cases imported.??–TM??Region: Spain / Ribera del Duero Select to Add
