Milsetentayseis

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.
