We have a fantastic value from Ribero del Duero today with much to love. 100% Tempranillo sourced from vines that are over 35 years old from 6 different vineyard sites, this is a concentrated, expressive wine with an excellent level of refinement that shows off the style of the Resalte estate. Aged in a combination of 80% French and 20% American, giving it a more refined feel, it has made it to the Wine Spectators' top 100 multiple times. The Origen de Resalte shows a surprising amount of complexity, leading to an impressively long, palate-staining finish with ample power sewn together by some lovely elegance. It's an unbelievable bottle for the price and one of the best values in the Ribero del Duero, and at this special closeout pricing, it's a top buy.
Wine and Spirits 93 pts! "A selection from vineyards in six villages, the variations in soil and altitude of those sites create a complex blend. Initially heady and chocolate-rich, this settles into layered integrated refinement with enough space between the layers to feel open rather than thick. As it takes air it begins to fell like a mile feuille of wild mushrooms Unami, fresh black fruit and bitter chocolate tannins. Cellar it to serve with brasied lamb."
