…Italy, I spent a few hours at the Boston Wine School at an energetic Ribera Del Duero seminar and tasting. Jonathan Alsop runs the school and every time I am with Jonathan, he says something simple about wine that lands with profound resonance. This time Jonathan opened the seminar for thirty wine writers and members of the New England trade saying, "we study Bordeaux so we can discover and appreciate regions like Ribera Del Duero."

Garnet hue with enticing aromas of bright berries, undertones of light cigar box with a purity that one expects of a much more expensive wine.
Palate--Perfectly ripe tannins with bold, fruity berries with spicy nuances that defy the price point of this remarkable Tempranillo ( aka Tinto fino)!
This lovely super value wine is from the Ribera Del Deuro and cost me--sit down--$8! It's name PROTOS means "First"! In this case, its no exaggeration!

…"real differences" in expression between tempranillo from Rioja and from Ribera Del Duero.
So how do they compare?
Just going from what I am tasting in the glass, the Ribera Del Duero is darker, more dramatic, and intense, with focused, concentrated notes of black licorice and very concentrated ripe black fruit. Think coffee grounds and best quality black licorice with a touch of exotic vanilla and you may sense the flavor. In an MW style blind tasting, I can almost …

…possibly from several years of aging in French and American oak.
In the main tasting room of the Mandarin Oriental hotel, several producers offered excellent examples of Ribera Del Duero wine, which is mostly made from Tempranillo. The law says it must contain 85%, yet most producers used 100% and aged the wine in mostly French oak.
Really nice showing of these absolutely delicious wines!

Choice # 3 - Spain - 2005 Legón Reserva, Ribera del Duero (303511) - $ 23.95
Although not as classic as the 2004, the 2005 is still considered by many as outstanding. Great review. Robert Parker rewarded this wine with 90+, and you can enjoy this wine between 2014 to 2025. Since it spent 18 months in French oak, expect the impact both on the nose and palate. Can't wait to try it.
