Olivier Leflaive, Meursault 1er Cru Blagny, Sous le Dos d’Ane, 2013, Burgundy

“Soft reduction suggests that a quick decantation would be a good idea if you’re tempted to try a bottle in its youth. Otherwise there is fine intensity and detail to the attractively textured, saline and mineral-inflected medium-bodied flavors that deliver solid depth and length on the ever-so-mildly austere finale. This refreshing and vibrant effort is on the lighter side but it’s quite refined plus I very much like the sense of harmony.” 90 points, www.burghound.com (June 2015)

Reviews

  • Joseph Newman

    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.

  • Soham Phillips

    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.
