Wine Description

Aroma Very layered and complex with aromas of dark fruits like plum and blackberry, aromatic herbs, damp earth and chocolate.
Color Intense, opaque wine/ Bordeaux red with a deep red rim.
Palate It is a muscular, full-bodied wine with lively acidity. Despite its potent tannins, it appears elegant, velvety and discreetly astringent. It is the interplay of fruit, long finish and freshness that make this wine.
Overall result An excellent, elegant and harmonious wine with ageing potential.
Match with Grilled meats, short roasts or even strong stews.

Criticism

Luis Gutierréz the critic Robert Parkers wrote in 2021:

"The 2014 Corimbo I, their top bottling, was fermented in oak barrels with indigenous yeasts and aged for 16 months in French and American oak barrels, 40-50% of it new. 2014 was a very heterogeneous vintage in Ribera del Duero, and I can't really describe the style of the wines from that year, because they seem very different. Some wines seem weaker than the 2015s, and the ageing seems a bit harsh for the quality of the juice. There are lots of smoky, toasty and spicy aromas and flavours, and the wine is medium-bodied with lots of dry tannins and a slight bitterness on the finish. 36,500 bottles were produced. It was bottled in September 2016."
