Trial analysis
Sweet aromas of chocolate and vanilla make your mouth water. Cranberry and blackberry notes bring liveliness to the nose. Silky-velvety on the palate, even in its young years. Noble soft tannins. A typical, powerful and voluminous Ribera.
This very traditional bodega does not go for the temptations of modern techniques and style.
