24 RESERVA TEMPRANILLO 2018 DO Ribera del Duero |
Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
BALBĂS |
Deep purple garnet, red color. Fairly complex, very slightly spicy, gently earthy, intense, warm, ripe plum nose with some cedary sandalwood-cassis notes. Dry, medium-full body, well structured, bright, still youthful, intense, ripe plum, black cherry and cassis flavors with a lingering, bright, gently cedary finish. It has 15% alcohol with under 2 g residual sugar and lot number L1019 on the back label. This classic Ribera del Duero would work well with a steak and can still improve with a few more years of aging. |

TASTING NOTE: 100% Tempranillo. Enticing fruit and red floral aromas. A modern, muscular style with pronounced ripe tannins and a sweet spicy and toasty character. This wine will reward patient cellaring and is sure to turn an ordinary meal into a magnificent dinner. Platinum. [Drink now or cellar until the early 2030s.] Score - 97 (Decanter World Wine Awards, 2023) |
