"Nice cedary oak with some cigar box and chocolate to the fresh blackberries. A fresher, full-bodied Ribera del Duero here that shows weight and structure but also good drinkability with fine, gritty tannins. Drink or hold."

"A tightly knit red, with a core of fine, chalky tannins enmeshed with a plush texture and a pretty flavor range of chopped black cherry and dried fig. Revealing accents of dark chocolate, dried lavender and thyme, this opens nicely on the palate. Spiced finish. Drink now through 2030. 1,000 cases made, 300 cases imported."
