Valparaiso Ribera del Duero Crianza 2022 [Dec 91]

All new oak barrels used (70% French/ 30% American). Quite extraordinary for a wine of such modest pricing.

Decanter World Wine Awards 2024, Silver Medal and 91 points. "Leafy, black fruit, earth and leather aromas. The palate is juicy with rounded, ripe tannins and some firmness of oak at this stage. Has the potential to evolve gracefully. Long, elegat finish."

Ageing:
The wine has remained in French and American oak barrels for 12 months during which the traditional barrel-to-barrel transfer has proceeded every 6 months.

Tasting:
It shows cherry red with a slight ruby. The smell is sensed of red fruits, cedars, spice and a perfectly integrated wood. It’s very aromatic in the mouth. Elegant.
