Ribera del Duero

Medium

Cork

Reserva

Superb. Intense, pure and nuanced, with beautiful integration of alcohol and wood. The tannins are smoky but also delightfully peppery, and there’s a vegetal twist (of pepper and blackcurrant leaf) adding intrigue and liveliness. A dash of plum poached in Earl Grey tea adds further classiness. Long and tingling finish. Ribera at its best.
