RED WINE RIBERA DEL DUERO SPAIN 1500ML
SPAIN • RIBERA DEL DUERO • MAGNUM FORMAT AUTHOR'S RED WINE (DRY)
"The majestic expression of a historic estate on the Golden Mile of Ribera del Duero, now presented in its impeccable 1.5 Liter (1500ml) Magnum format. The 2020 vintage combines the elegance and subtlety of Tinto Fino (Tempranillo) with the firmness of Cabernet Sauvignon, having aged for 15 months in medium-toasted American oak barrels. With a dry profile, it dazzles in the glass with its intense picota cherry red color and seductive aromas of stewed red and black fruits, cocoa, licorice, fine spices, and balsamic hints of scrubland. The Magnum format allows for a slow maturation that enhances its velvety mouthfeel, polished tannins, outstanding volume, and an extremely elegant finish."
