“I immediately appreciate the gorgeous aroma, which is rich and pretty, with some buttered popcorn note . Very round and pure sweet white fruits on the palate. It feels interestingly sweet in flavor, but of course without any real sugar. Elegant and lovely in the mouth, with round texture and just the right bit of acidity cutting through. You can keep this in the mouth forever. The finish is rich and soft, but then a surprising bloom of acidity comes in. Quite lovely depth is shows, but you can’t see details right now… it’s all covered in its baby fat, but I expect this one to become quite good. When I came back to this wine at the end of the night the oak had come even more forward. Again, just give this a couple decades.” Producer’s Note

I like this Reserva from RdD. 100% Tempranillo aged for 24 months in oak barrels.
3.8 stars with more aging potential.
A deep ruby red and purple shades. Thick long legs in the glass.
On the nose medium intense aromas of blackberries, black cherries, black raspberries, horse saddle, leather and slightly oak.

This amazing powerhouse from Ribera del Duero. Tinto Pesquera Reserva 2012 - Bodegas Alejandro Fernández. Decanting is advised 👌🍷 delicious cherry, vanilla, leather and cederbox with cigars. Milk chocolat, forrest floor, laurel. Great lenght and depth Amazing wine!

90 pts Given the quality of the Crianza I really was delighted to find this Reserva, needs way more time to fully flower however, still very enjoyable for me now. The Crianza is ready now, but this shows sleeping intensity and great future potential and longevity, wait a few years however.
Typical earthy red fruit with good use of oak, dusty vanilla. Weighty, full with a long finish, it will be a star in the future.
