2018 Milsetentayseis Ribera del Duero Tinto - 95 PTS - Guia Penin

guia penin logo"The wine is deep cherry in color exhibiting complex, expressive aromas. Its minerality comes from the soil, the black fruit from the Tempranillo and the spice from a sometime in oak. The combination leads to a full body that finishes with great length.

2018 Milsetentayseis Ribera del Duero Tinto - 95 PTS - VINOUS

vinous logo"Inky violet. Potent aromas of cassis, cherry preserves, incense and potpourri, plus oak spice and mineral topnotes. Alluringly sweet and concentrated, with a spine of smoky minerality supporting intense flavors of dark berry liqueur, bitter chocolate, cola and candied lavender. Youthful, slow-building tannins add shape and grip to an impressively long, juicy finish that echoes the dark berry and floral notes. - Josh Raynolds."

2019 Milsetentayseis Ribera del Duero Tinto - 93 PTS - WA2021

wa93"Like the rosé, I also found better balance and more integrated oak in the second vintage of the red, the 2019 Tinto, where they used larger barrels, 300- 400- and 600-liter, and the oak is neatly folded into the wine. Despite being a warmer year, the wine has less alcohol than the 2018. The wine remains creamy and with a luxurious palate of ripe fruit and spicy oak flavors but with more balance. The tannins are fine, and the mouthfeel is dry and serious, a return to the Ribera from the early 1990s. 27,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in June 2021. - Luis GUTIERREZ"

2019 Milsetentayseis Ribera del Duero Tinto - 93 PTS - WA2023

wa93"Tasted once again, the second vintage of the red 2019 Tinto comes from a warm and dry year when they used larger barrels—300- 400- and 600-liter ones—for some 16 months élevage, and the oak feels neatly folded into the wine. Despite being a warmer year, the wine has less alcohol than the 2018 but is still at 14.5%. The wine remains creamy and with a luxurious palate of ripe fruit and spicy oak flavors but with more balance and good ripeness. The tannins are fine, and the mouthfeel is dry and serious, a return to the Ribera from the early 1990s. 27,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in June 2021. - Luis GUTIERREZ"

james suckling hq logo plain"A concentrated Ribera del Duero with a tight wrap of creamy tannins that suggest potential. I love the depth of the fruit here, complemented by fine-tuned spices. From organically grown grapes. Better after 2024."

2019 Milsetentayseis Ribera del Duero Tinto - 96 PTS - WE

wine enthusiast 96 pts"Aromas of blackberry jam and clove waft from the glass. This wine's flavors of ripe summer cherry, blueberry pie, clove, white chocolate and caramel are set into a network of durable tannins. The remarkably bright, lingering finish is laced with notes of vanilla and orange zest. - Mike DESIMONE"
