A cult Spanish classic. Crafted from estate-grown Tempranillo, this international favourite embodies the winemaking heritage of Ribera del Duero. With vibrant fruit, silky tannins, and remarkable aging potential, this timeless wine is a true icon, once dubbed 'the Pétrus of Spain' by Robert Parker. Lovely to drink on release, but could age for 10+ years. At its best served with bbqs or rich roasts. This 2020 vintage was awarded 91 pts by Tim Atkin.
