Pinea Tempranillo 2018 Ribera del Duero

Critical Acclaim: 95 pts Wine Spectator; 94 pts James Suckling. Voted the 4th best wine in Spain by Wine Spectator. 

Winemaker's Tasting Notes: This is an opaque wine with a bright ruby rim showing its years of ageing. It has an intense aroma with plenty of personality and notes reminiscent of black fruit blending with spicy and toasted touches enhancing the marked complexity it expresses. On the palate it imposes itself, with great structure provided by its intense tannins refined with a vibrant acidity that lifts the elegance of the wine in its long finish.

"This full-bodied red is rich and concentrated, yet fresh and elegant overall. Offers plush texture wrapped around a firm frame of sculpted tannins, carrying violet-laced notes of ripe black plum, dried fig, eucalyptus and spices. Hints of coffee and smoke enrich the lasting finish. Drink now through 2033."- Wine Spectator. 

"Notes of spiced plums and blackberries with sweet spices, dark chocolate and wet earth on offer. Medium-to full-bodied with a polished texture, fine-grained tannins and vivid acidity that adds juicy, crunchy character. Delicious dark fruit on the palate, with hints of spices to close. 100% Tempranillo. Drink or hold."- James Suckling. 

Varietal: Tempranillo.
