97 TA. "What a debut. Even given the distinguished track record of Bordeaux-based consultant Jean-Claude Berrouet [who presided over 44 vintages at Petrus], this is a remarkable wine that is part of a welcome new trend in Ribera del Duero. Elegant and refreshing, it has very fine tannins, floral top notes, subtle oak and just a hint of leafiness from 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. Releasing the wine through the Place de Bordeaux with five years of age gives you some idea of the ambition that owner Yllera has for this superb cuvée.” Tim Atkin MW, Decanter, Dec 2021 |
