"An elegant, medium- to full-bodied red, with creamy tannins well-meshed with flavors of blackberry paste, crushed black cherry, eucalyptus and milled pepper, revealing lively acidity with a balsamico edge. Drink now through 2028. 29,166 cases made, 800 cases imported.—Alison NAPJUS."

"A wonderfully polished expression of Ribera del Duero's match-up of power and high-plain freshness, this still has gorgeous intensity of finger-staining blackberry and mullberry succulence, a shading of expensive, fine-grained, toasty oak and satisfyingly savoury tannins all coming together to match the meat coming off the wood-fired grill. - David WILLIAMS"
