"Exuberant blueberry, blackberry, damsons, liquorice and mocha aromas. Juicy with forceful intensity, sweetness and toasty oak. Balanced acidity gives way to an attractively dry and ripe finish."

"Some sweet oak on the nose and marked acidity. Grainy, still-drying finish with definite sweetness † and persistence. Needs quite a bit of time."

"The 2020 Astrales is 100% Tempranillo from Anguix in Ribera del Duero and was aged for 18 months in 80% French and 20% American barrels. The winemaker, José Hidalgo, reports that 2020 was a textbook vintage in the area. Purple in hue. The nose offers bloody and herbal aromas along with mint, thyme and blackberry. Dry and muscular, the structured palate and nimble flow lend depth and intensity to this alluring, long-lasting red."

"A rich red, with generous flavors of blackberry coulis and baked damson plum and accents of ground coffee, dark chocolate, mineral, spices and balsamico herbs, all layered with muscular tannins. Shows full-bodied power, but this is well-integrated and harmonious overall, with a silky texture and a lasting finish."
