This is a delicious Cabernet Sauvignon from Ribera Del Duero. Very unique for this region.
This 6-year-old is showing nice complexity with a soft mouthfeel. Rich yet elegant. Fruit forward and smooth.
Needs 3 hours to open up properly and show its elegance and complexity, so take your time and be patient.
Good by itself and will pair very nicely with the traditional grilled baby lamb dish.
Feels like a Napa Cabernet with a lot of Old World influence. Interesting stuff. Definitely not what I expected from this region, but this is gorgeous.
Will continue to age nicely in the next 7 to 10 years.
A tiny production of only 600 bottles. This is bottle number 212. Aged in French Oak barrels for 20 months.

This 4 year old Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley is drinking nicely, but still very young. Showing lots of vegetable and earth notes, which I did not expect.
Needs at least 5 years in the bottle to mature properly, and still a little unbalanced. Will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years.
This Single Vineyard is complex, with a soft mouthfeel. Has good potential to become a 95+ point wine.
I had the 2015 a couple of years ago, and loved it.
Needed a few hours to open up properly, so be patient.

This 13 year old is still young, and showing great complexity at this point.
Good right out of the bottle, and better after 2 hours of airtime. So much better after 3 hours of airtime, and definitely worth the wait.

Nicely balanced with lots of black fruits and chocolate notes.
Drinking beautifully now as a 4-year-old, but still so very young, and will continue to age nicely in the next 20 years and beyond.
Showing a soft and opulent mouthfeel. Spicy and buttery.
Good right out of the bottle, but much better once it opens up. Started opening up after 2 hours in the decanter, but kept on changing from there.
Another gorgeous wine from Russell Bevan. A great wine to have all by itself. No food needed.
