Dominio del Aguila - Ribera Del Duero DO - Picaro - Red - 2022

Wine:

Bursting with ripe, juicy cherry aromas, the 2022 Red Ribera del Duero Pícaro showcases remarkable freshness and brilliantly reflects its terroir. A distinct limestone and mineral character adds depth, supported by a bold structure with firm tannins that will soften over time. This is a serious, dense wine with great ageing potential, promising an exciting evolution. If you plan to enjoy it young, decant it beforehand or serve it in a large glass to fully appreciate its complexity. Rated 94/100 by Parker.
