WineHater says: A well made and enjoyable wine that is not overpriced.
He says: For me, it was an excellent wine, but not outstanding. I’d have no problem paying $50 for it though…

She says: Nothing really memorable about this and I would have expected more from a Spanish wine with 6 years of age. He says: Pretty simple easy sipper. 
She says: Ripe baked black oaky fruit bomb! He says: Overly sweet and way too much oak. 
She says: Could easily drink a bottle on a sunny afternoon… if only we still had some sunshine to come… wishful thinking? He says: A decent Rosé for $15. I liked the simple fruit-forward nose/palate, with some hints of cream soda both in smell and texture. 
She says: It is not often we don’t finish a bottle of wine when we open it but this one went back in the fridge until a couple of days later. It either improved in this time or my expectations were so low that it somehow didn’t seem so bad. He says: A strange Rosé to say the least in that the drapes don’t match the carpet. 
Two of these had little between them, showing an imbalance of oak and fruit, blending into that one global wine style we seem to be careening towards. However, one of the wines really stood out and displayed the style that Ribera del Duero is known for… 
She says: This deserved the official stamp of the Ribera del Dureo… to me this is the Corazón (heart) of the Duero. He says: Is it a lot of money? Yes (for some). However, if you’re going to the Okanagan and buying 2-3 year old red wines for $30-40 (or paying more while dining out), do yourself a favor and try something with age, sophistication, and grace, for exactly the same price. |
