Dark ruby to the eye, this wine has aromas of blackberry jam, caramel and a touch of earthiness. Bold acidity offers an excellent foil to muscular tannins; both support raspberry, black cherry, dried thyme and mocha flavors that evaporate into a drawn-out and surprisingly bright finish. — Mike DeSimone

“The 2019 Torre de Golbán Reserva comes from Ribera del Duero and was aged for 18 months in 35% new barrels. Garnet-red in hue. The nose presents cigar box, cherry and vanilla aromas layered over a bed of wild herbs. Rich and dry with pronounced tannins, the slightly chalky texture lends structure to the palate. This is exactly what you’d expect from Ribera del Duero.” JH
