Rich, alluring nose. Fresh fruit and really lively. Quite complex. Really refreshing !

The 2018 Yotuel Finca de Valdepalacios from Anguix, Ribera del Duero, was aged up to 14 months in oak barrels. Garnet-red in the glass. The reductive aromatic blend features elderberry, cherry, hops and wild herbs over a blackberry bed. The palate is dry and vibrant with finely-grained tannins and a lasting, alluring finish. This is an unusual, rewardingly modern Ribera red !
