The Ribera del Duero Crianza with greatest success among gourmets. All gourmet restaurants sell out of it by mid-year. Two factors explain this: its extraordinary quality and very reasonable price. This 04 fully lives up to its prestige and the goodness of the harvest.
Very fruity on the nose as much as on the palate, with toasted notes. Also sweet, very pleasing tannins, showing character. Strength, life, structure, harmony… all very well balanced.
85% Tinta Fina and 15% Cabernet Sauvignon. Aged in French and American oak barrels of second and third use for 12 months. Bottled in April 2006.
