Cuesta de las Liebres 2019

A polished Ribera del Duero with powdery sweet spices, chocolate, blueberries, graphite and blackberries. Concentrated, full-bodied and intense with very polished silky tannins and an even, extensive finish. Such refinement for Ribera del Duero with a precise, seamless finish. Drinkable now, but much better after 2025. Will age beautifully in the next decade.

Cuesta de la Liebres is a three-hectare parcel at 850 metres, and is only made in what Almudena Calvo considers the best years. It's certainly located at the riper, fuller-bodied end of the Ribera del Duero spectrum, but it's well made in its style, with plenty of grip and tannins, the intensity of small berries and enough underlying freshness to lift the slightly jammy fruit flavours. 2024-27
