Deep, black cherry in colour. Aromas of red fruit with oaky toffee hints from the ageing in French barrels give way to a sweet and fruity wine on the palate. With elements of ripe fruits and liquorice, this wine has a pleasant and soft finish.

  3. 🇷🇺 Anatoly –

    Ещё очень молодое и танинное, конечно.
    Но вино уже сейчас развивается в бокале от сливы до вишни, танины капельку смягчаются.
    Добротная РДД

    Still very young and tannic, of course.
    But the wine is already evolving in the glass from the sink to the 🍒 cherry cherry, tannins soften 💧 droplet droplet.
    High-quality HDR

    3.8 Купленное в дютике Барсы вино представляет прекрасный образец ридеры. Яркое, ягодное и лакричное и деревянное! Отличный потенциал! Лучше аэрировать полчасика!

  6. 🇺🇸 Dennis –

    Nice young Pruno - well it hits the market too young and only with 1-3 months in bottle aging so store it yourself for 12-24 month and you have a 4 Star wine at a low price 8-10 eur. Well made Tempranillo blend lots of tannins but a little sharp finish that will get round and soft with some aging
  7. 🇺🇸 Bee –

    Not bad but definitely had better ribeiras. Too harsh, not enough balance.
  8. 🇪🇸 Fernando –

  9. 🇺🇸 M&M –

    Have we ever had a blah RdD? Don’t think so! A RdD always seems to be a bottle of yum. And it paired very well with our Prime Rib.

    Hint of dark berries and sweet tobacco on the nose. Plum, mulberry, black raspberry and blueberry on the palate with notes of oak, tobacco and earth. Moderate acidity and grippy tannins. 3.8 ✨
  10. 🇺🇸 PM –

  19. 🇺🇸 Gustavo –

    One of the best 🇪🇸 Spanish Spanish wine I've ever tried. The kind of wine you can smell it without putting the nose in the glass. Riped berries, leather...full body, long aftertaste. Great value for money
  20. 🇺🇸 Kelsey –

    Easy to drink, particularly after a few over-oaked Riojas. Red fruit and spice, medium plus body, medium finish.
  21. 🇺🇸 Kypexin –

    Super nice, thick, aromatic
  22. 🇺🇸 Mikko –

    Earthy. Fig and cigar box. Plum. Very nice and lovely after taste with smooth tannins.
  23. 🇺🇸 Mads –

    Ok but a little too much acid
  24. 🇺🇸 Robert –

    3.5 may be a bit harsh but it was just missing the body and structure that was anticipating being there. Not bad by any means but was hoping this would be a full case purchase.. it’s not
  25. 🇺🇸 Alain –

    Price wise, this is surprisingly good. The nose has slight notes that I’m not a fan of which gives away the sulfites in the wine but after it opens it has surprisingly nice nose and palate
  26. 🇪🇸 Alberto –

    A huge overload on wood in the nose. The only other thing I got was sour 🍒 cherries cherries. Palate dominated by rough tannins and very high acidity. For the sake of a 3.8 average rating, I hope that my bottle was flawed.
