"The wine boasts an opaque purple color, followed by exquisite blackberry liqueur notes intermixed with smoke, licorice, and new oak scents. It displays a brilliantly focused, ripe, concentrated style with full body, gobs of fruit, a viscous, creamy texture, and a lusty finish with beautifully integrated acidity and tannin. This is a knock-out, ostentatiously-styled Ribera del Duero . . ."
