The story of this vintage

The 2015 vintage is considered one of the best of the last decade in Ribera del Duero. A warm, dry summer with cool nights that preserved acidity produced perfectly ripe grapes. The result is a wine of extraordinary density that never loses its characteristic elegance. Aged for more than ten years between French and American oak barrels and then further years in bottle, every sip is a statement of what time and terroir can achieve when worked without haste and without compromise.

Tasting · Tasting notes

Deep, dark ruby red. On the nose, aromas of ripe black fruit — blackberry, plum, cassis — intertwined with notes of cedar, tobacco, fine leather and wet earth. On the palate it is dense, broad and extraordinarily persistent. The tannins, perfectly integrated after years of ageing, give a silky, enveloping texture. The finish is endless.

Food pairing

Roast lamb, big game, red beef or a rib steak from aged cattle. Also sublime with long-matured cheeses. A wine that can accompany a good Havana cigar.

Temperature · Serving

16–18 °C · Uncork 2 hours ahead. Preferably decant.

Ageing potential

Ageing potential: until 2050 and beyond.
