Miros de Ribera Miros de Ribera del Duero D.O. Reserva 2019, 0,75 L

Miros de Ribera Reserva 2019 elevates the already magnificent standards set by its 2018 counterpart, showcasing a remarkable blend of power and elegance that is nearly unrivalled. It's no surprise that Ribera del Duero has soared to prominence, becoming one of the most celebrated wine regions.

This wine is best enjoyed decanted, allowing its full splendour to unfold in the glass.

Pouring a dark, almost opaque hue, it gradually reveals layers of dark fruit, with prominent notes of blackberry and sour cherry emerging after an initial reserve. Delightful roasted aromas intermingle with nuances of coffee and vanilla, offering a sensory journey of the highest order. As the wine breathes, mineral undertones, characteristic of the region, assert themselves with increasing prominence.

The palate is greeted with a powerful, spicy entrance, accompanied by firm, impeccably ripe tannins. Abundant dark berry flavours flood the senses, underscored by a luscious sweetness that dances harmoniously with the wine's robust acidity. Subtle hints of coffee and minerality further enhance its complexity, epitomising the essence of top-tier Ribera del Duero wines. Time and again, as we savour this wine among friends, the consensus echoes the sentiment: "a truly great wine"—and indeed, it is, without question.
