Milsetentayseis Ribera del Duero Tinto 2018

Vinous, 95 pts

"Inky violet. Potent aromas of cassis, cherry preserves, incense and potpourri, plus oak spice and mineral topnotes. Alluringly sweet and concentrated, with a spine of smoky minerality supporting intense flavors of dark berry liqueur, bitter chocolate,
cola and candied lavender. Youthful, slow-building tannins add shape and grip to an impressively long, juicy finish that echoes the dark berry and floral notes"

At 1,076 meters above sea-level – Milsetentayseis is the highest vineyard in the Ribera del Duero. The ancestral vineyards of Milsetentayseis are rooted in history and an integral part of the Alma Carraovejas commitment to revitalize regions deeply steeped in viticulture tradition.  The passion behind this is to produce unique wines that capture the essence of this extreme environment. Tempranillo grows harmoniously among other local varieties such as Albillo, Monastrell, and Grenache, all of which can express their full potential at above 1,000 meters.
