Review:

\”Thoroughly Ribera del Duero in its power and austerity, this wines floral rose scents shade into blackness, lasting cleanly within a structure thats both open and intense. Theres a hint of greenness from its time in American and French oak barrels, an edge that will tame grilled meats.\”
