Pago de los Capellanes Ribera del Duero Doroteo
Pago de los Capellanes
Spain - Castilla y Leon - Ribera del Duero

It is a wine with an intense cherry red colour, very attractive. It shows clean and powerful aromas of very ripe black and red forest fruits (blackberry, cherry and blackcurrant), with balsamic nuances (black liquorice). Spicy notes (clove and cinnamon) provided by the French oak wood of extra-fine grain . A vibrant and very balanced mouth. It is fresh, silky, long, intense, tasty, with lively. With highly polished tannins and a sensation of depth. Like a pleasant end to a long journey that fills the senses.

Long and creamy on the palate, offering a chewy finish of spice box and bay leaf notes, with a subtle tang of orange peel. Best after 2026. 364 cases made, 50 cases imported. - Alison NAPJUS"
