Robert Parker

(2011 Vintage Notes)

With an intense dark ruby color, this Ribera offers a nose of cinnamon, spices, lavender, and black cherry, with great distinction. Rich, concentrated, and full-bodied, it possesses elegance and complexity, silky tannins, a solid structure, and great depth. A lovely wine worth discovering!

Review by Mr. FREDERIC B. Posted on August 26, 2020

Tasted in August 2020. Deep color. Nose of red fruits. Smooth on the palate. Still has aging potential.
