La Loba Ribera del Duero 2019

This stunning modern expression of Tempranillo captures the cool climate energy of Matanza de Soria. It leads with a vivid, high toned aromatic profile of bright bing cherry and wild strawberry, layered over delicate notes of violet and a wisp of subtle earth and spice.. On the palate, the fruit turns deeper and more succulent with crushed red plums and a hint of forest floor, held together by an energized structure and moderately plush tannins. Broad and flavorful, it maintains a remarkable freshness and a savory, mineral etched finish. 2019 was an exceptional vintage and this wine is at the beginning of its peak drinkability. The bright fruit layers are beautifully expressive now, but La Loba’s balance and firm backbone will allow it to develop even more sophisticated, earthy, and savory nuances over the next 20 plus years in the cellar. Drink now, but with today's deep discount, make sure you do yourself a solid and stash a few away for a truly exemplary experience.
