🏰 【A distinguished and refined red wine from pre-phylloxera old vines (100+ years old) in the Atauta Valley at 1000 meters altitude, this 2017 Dominio de Es Vinas Viejas de Soria offers a unique expression of Ribera del Duero】. It is floral and expressive, with a balanced and supple profile, fine-grained, slightly dusty tannins, and a powerful palate of ripe flavors. Expect a cherry red color with violet edges, and a seductive perfume of cherries in liqueur, lush licorice, hints of raisins, and toasted nuances. The palate delivers magnificent fruit flavors, melted tannins, black wild berries, herbs, flowers (violet), and a mineral, voluminous, mellow sensation with amazing acidity and great alcohol integration. 🍴 This robust and elegant Spanish red is an excellent pairing for lamb, game, and other red meats. Its complexity and structure will also complement rich stews or aged cheeses. 🥂 An impressive wine with lots of potential, it's perfect for a special dinner or for collectors looking for a unique and age-worthy Ribera del Duero. It has great potential for the next 5 years.
