"The 2011 Creta Roble is a 100% Tempranillo aged for 4 to 5 months in French and American oak, made from old vines over 60 years old. An exceptional wine, a Ribeira del Duero bursting with fruit, featuring notes of licorice, blackcurrant jam, pencil shavings, espresso, and hints of toasted oak. Full-bodied, very fruity, and ripe, it will be best enjoyed over the next 2 to 3 years.” (Wine Advocate – Robert Parker)

It takes a while to open up, with the tannins overpowering the fruit.

Review by Mr. BENOIT J. Published on June 7, 2019
For some reason, Parker overrates and overhypes Spanish wines. He must know a thing or two about business. One day it’s the best wine in the world; the next, an exceptional bottle. This one has a pleasant character, is full-bodied to perfection, but very rustic, and by no means can it be considered an extraordinary wine. You can drink it without shame, but without making a big deal out of it.

Review by Mr. JOSE R. Posted on August 3, 2014
Still a bit young, but full of promise—a complex wine with a beautiful deep color, aromas of red fruit and a hint of vanilla, a very nice finish, and pleasant to drink... even when young.
