Abadia Retuerta Selección Especial Sardon de Duero Tempranillo Blend 2009

Carlos Lorenzo

Pure chocolate, spices, cake on smell. Lo g persistence, rounded, great acidity and great balance with fruit. A great great one after more than a week enjoying international wines

Vino de capa alta, en nariz cacao, frutas Rojas y mermeladas. En boca se notan los tostados en la entrada y tiene fuerza y madurez en el final.

Alexandre Calvi

Perfect example of what Spain is able to produce nowadays

Medium purple/ruby. Savory aromas of tart red cherry, cherry pit, incense, star anise/Asian spice.

Mostly Tempranillo, with Cab Sauv and Syrah. Spicy, herby and big.

Mark Flesher

75 Tempranillo, 15 Cab and 10 Syrah from Castilla y León. Little birdie told me that this one was past its prime. Although I completely disagree after opening, this wine is in a pretty good place. Does it knock you over? No. Better with food? Surprisingly better alone. The nose of this wine is fleshy and meaty. Rather expressive nose. Dark berry tart. Entry is dark, grilled meat. Mature blackberry and an earthy terroir note goes to the middle. The finish is a little acidic. Overall the mouthfeel was very silky which I was not expecting at all. I would drink now for sure, enjoyable wine.

Spice and baked goods on the nose with a lingering fruit forward finish! Glad we let this one sit for a year or so! Much better this time around.

Massive. Carmelized sugars, cocoa, prunes, with a fair touch of earthiness. A wine almost too big to drink.
