A 100% Tempranillo drawn off five high-altitude sites, the Bodegas Trus scored in the top five of Wine Spectator’s best Ribera del Duero wines of 2018—but costs a mere fraction of the competition! Arguably the best Ribera del Duero deal of the vintage, this wine racked up 96 points and a Gold Medal at the Decanter World Wine Awards. “A plush and fabulous expression of variety and provenance,” raved the judges.
Dark ruby color with a pink rim. Smoky and robust on the nose, with crushed strawberries, black tea, and crushed soil. The earthiness punches through the red fruit with power and finesse. Captivating on the palate, with a medium-to-full body that shows the warmth of the region. Flavors of baked cherries, black truffle, and cardamom meld nicely. The finish is floral and bright, with a combination of violets, herbs, and spice. Drink now–2030.
