“We didn't pair it well, but the wine was good. At a friend's wedding. The red and violet edges were visible for me. Slight smell of tea in this Ribera del Duero. A surprising fruity wine.”

“For the meal we had, this wasn't the proper wine. I tried it with some wine tasters who are friends of mine. Classic red cherry color of a 1996. Nice smell like nuts. Good flavour, with hints of caramel.”
