Tinto Pesquera Reserva 2019

Critical Acclaim: 93 pts James Suckling; 93 pts Wine Spectator.

About the Wine: Pesquera Tinto Reserva is made from 100% Tempranillo grapes, aged in American oak barrels for 24 months and then a further 12 months in the bottle.

"A powerful, full-bodied Ribera del Duero showing plenty of roasted spices and a hint of chili chocolate to the rich blackberries. Quite flavorful and powerful but still fresh on the full-bodied palate coated by sinewy tannins. Long and compact. A little chewy now, but should improve and soften more in the next three years."- James Suckling. 

"A rich red, compact at first, but with air this reveals flavors of blackberry paste and boysenberry coulis, plus tea leaves, fresh-milled pepper and rose hip. This wine's detailed flavor range is layered with a core of dense, fine-grained tannins and a fragrant tang of balsamico acidity. Best from 2024 through 2034."- Wine Spectator. 

Varietal: Tempranillo.
