Very nice, smooth, sweet cherry, coffee, vanilla laced fruit. Ripe and fruity but balanced with no hint of tannins from when i first tried thus on release. Decent QPR!

Terroir-istes International - Spain, Castilla y Leon, Ribero del Duero Part 2 (Overgaauw Wine Estate) : (Tasted Blind): Cloudy with a deep garnet colouring. A complex array of red and black cherry, roast meat, sprinkle of dry spice and a hint of tomato leaf. A deep palate that mimics some port-like notes with a hectic array of Christmas spices and dried oranges with a smattering of vanilla. Full body with graphite and chalky edges the wine has a lovely density …

Balanced, with secondary flavors, but flavors are not focused. Spicy with softened tannin. It is acid minus that takes away from the freshness of the wine.

Cool, chalky with elegant fruit, still very fresh. Old Fashioned wine #Falsled

Bottle brought from the house to drink with the rest of them while renovating Oinoscent. Nice and big but not overpowering, needs time to open up. This is on the ripe side, big tannins but it just seemed to lack depth and complexity. Probably better with food

Still drinking. Rough around the edges still quite a bit tannnic, but the fruit showed through after about an hour. Potentially going through a phase that will lead to much more integrated tannins? Definitely needs a bold dish to go with it.

Dried mushroom on the nose. Initially fairly simple bigger fruit opening to cool, classic Ribera Tempranillo, elegant. Decant for a hour + now or wait another 3 years.

I'm glad I waited to drink this wine! It was wonderful, medium - full body with nice fruit and soft tannins. If I had more, I would drink it all right now! It is absolutely great!

Interestingly, this bottle was very similar to the 2/19/10 bottle.

A lot of wood and acidity here. Fruit is way in the background. It was a good wine if that is your thing and there is cellaring potential here. Decanted for 1.5 hours and this seemed to help the wine.

Ready to go at PnP, almost too suave with very little air. This hurt the offering later in the night. RdD usually have long runs, but this was out of steam at 3 hours. Not enough acidity to carry through, a shame because the dark cherry with some red plum, smoke, and bit of fermented vanilla was great initially. Drink now.

a bit simple Tempranillo - fresh taste and not heavy at all.

Pretty deep dark purple. Nose has red plums and a bit of smoke. The palate has some firm tannins and a streak of acid that adds to the overall finish.

when opened bouquet smells incense, fruit and very very ripe vegetables, in the beginning very strong tannins and big (black) fruit, after a certain while tannin gets softer very long, still quite young in my opinion

Deep jetshot plum. Fragrent nose of black fruits and herbs. Good acidity, soft tannins and rich and broad flavour. A long finish. The wine is at a peak and perfect for curent drinking.

Winemakers dinner with Peter Sisseck (Het Gebaar, Antwerp, Belgium) : Beautiful bouquet with chocolate and dark forest fruits as well as beautiful oak and sweet spices. On the palate a very friendly wine with beautiful sweet spices and oak, mild acidity and tannin and soft bitterness. Beautiful wine, ready now and a future of several years.

Really nice with a soft, merlot-like texture. Plenty of sweet cherry and vanilla with a long, easy-going finish. Nice.

LOvely vanilla frosting nose. Not much happening on the palate though, some cherry vanilla, dirt, rather one dimensional. Looking at other notes, maybe an off bottle or maybe better with food.

inky black, purple, opaque. Nse of black cherries, herbs. The palate quite poronouced, rich and mouthfilling. Moderate acidity but still very fresh. Tannis soft and not introusive. Black cherries, ripe plums, garrique and a hint of black olive. Complex, involving and layered. A longish finish. For what it is, it is an excellent wine. I think the lack of acidity may impact on its lifespan but certainly, no problem for the next five years.

Loved it. Balanced tannins and acidity already now! Rich fruit and nice notes of vanilla, green peppers, and oily/tar. Drank it with roast lamb with oven-roasted potatoes.

Very nice, medium body with complex flavors of fruit, chalk and cedar. Nice finish. Suggest a 1 hr decant. It will age nicely for at least 10 years.
