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." |
