85 / Tasted at Bordeaux Index's annual 10-Year On tasting in London. I was not particularly enamoured by the 2006 Château Magdelaine from barrel, so after ten years, the question remains...was I too mean? Maybe. That said, I find the aromatics here more diffuse than the 2006 Canon-la-Gaffelière, missing Magdelaine's usual cohesion and finesse. The palate is stocky, brittle in the mouth with dry tannin, tarry red berry fruit, a dash of white pepper with quite an austere finish. While I accept that I may have been harsh in barrel all those years ago, fact is, there are far superior wines from this 'discontinued' estate out there. Tasted January 2016.

I like this Reserva from RdD. 100% Tempranillo aged for 24 months in oak barrels.
3.8 stars with more aging potential.
A deep ruby red and purple shades. Thick long legs in the glass.
On the nose medium intense aromas of blackberries, black cherries, black raspberries, horse saddle, leather and slightly oak.

This amazing powerhouse from Ribera del Duero. Tinto Pesquera Reserva 2012 - Bodegas Alejandro Fernández. Decanting is advised 👌🍷 delicious cherry, vanilla, leather and cederbox with cigars. Milk chocolat, forrest floor, laurel. Great lenght and depth Amazing wine!

90 pts Given the quality of the Crianza I really was delighted to find this Reserva, needs way more time to fully flower however, still very enjoyable for me now. The Crianza is ready now, but this shows sleeping intensity and great future potential and longevity, wait a few years however.
Typical earthy red fruit with good use of oak, dusty vanilla. Weighty, full with a long finish, it will be a star in the future.
