37 in stock
In general, 2018 was a rainy year, especially at thebeginning and end of the growth season, giving rise todowny mildew in spring. The fruit maturation period wasmoderately rainy, causing a few isolated cases of botrytistowards the end of the harvest. In terms of temperature,the year fell within normal range, although the summerwas hot. Due to the cool, rainy conditions in spring,which delayed budbreak and flowering, the harvest begana little later than usual. Grape-picking was concentratedover a short period of time. Yields were slightly higherthan in recent years.

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.
