This Ribera del Duero benchmark offers ripe black fruit, currants, earthy spice, and toasty oak on the nose, with hints of caramel and smoke. Juicy and flavorful on the palate, featuring stewed blackberries and cherries, star anise, dark chocolate, and spicy earth. Clean, balanced finish with herbal and leathery notes. A “must list” wine.
