“A bold nose of dark chocolate. Rich and fresh, with firm tannins and a rather elegant finish.” (James Suckling) Aged for five months in barrels, this Tempranillo is fruity, round, and spicy. A generous Ribera del Duero that’s ready to drink!

Review by Mr. ARNAUD R. Published on 10/28/2018
Disappointed, as are apparently most members. It has a nice aroma of red berries, but the taste isn't balanced—the alcohol stands out. It's not hard to find something significantly better in this appellation.

Disappointing. The wine is harsh and doesn't taste very good.

Review by Mr. DIDIER P. Published on June 15, 2018
Here is a wine that is well-structured, yet offers nothing—no pleasure at all. It has very firm tannins and will age well, perhaps even for a long time. But it lacks any distinct character, both on the nose and on the palate. It reminds me of the basic Côtes de Bourg wines from around here from over forty years ago. Forget it.

Review by Mr. FLORIAN C. Posted on May 13, 2018
The value for money seemed very appealing to me, but I didn't find it as appealing when I tasted it. It lacked expression and felt somewhat disjointed, with the alcohol on one side and the acidity on the other. Perhaps it's just too young.

Review by Mr. FLORIAN L. Published on April 24, 2018
A bit of a letdown given the reviews. Alcoholic, heavy, and lacking in real flavor.

Review by Mr. DENIS B. Posted on March 21, 2018
After being allowed to breathe, this is a fruity, full-bodied wine with fine tannins and a medium-length finish—more than adequate for its price range. It pairs wonderfully with cold cuts.
