Ruby red at the centre fading to a lighter red at the rim.Vibrant.
On the nose this is more like Rioja than Ribera. Indeed on the nose it seems quite "traditional" and older than 6 years. Some lifted notes and farmyardy aromas (yum).
On the palate it is well balanced nice clean red and black fruit. Long clean finish. Reminds me of the 98 Haciendo Monasterio. I suspect that lovers of Musar and old style Rioja would like this relatively new Ribera. My first taste of this and it wasn’t what I was expecting.
Very good.

El vino se presenta con un atractivo color picota cubierto. Decantado dos horas antes, la nariz del vino es atractiva: fruta roja y negra, tabaco, madera nueva bien integrada, todo con bastante sutilidad. En boca es donde más me decepcionó: amargoso y algo astringente, pero sobre todo bastante desestructurado y poco armónico. No vale los 95€; que cuesta.
