Wine:

Rated 97/100 Parker and 18/20 by our Selection Committee, the 2018 Red Ribera del Duero Reserva is the estate's most famous wine, that explodes all standards. Concentrated, intense, served by notes of black fruits, resin, luxurious oak, and a concentrated and deep palate, with tight but prominent tannins, it profiles a phenomenal wine made for aging.
