---|---|
Nose | This is a bold and complex Tinto Fino red wine. Ripe blackberries, crème de cassis, vanilla, cedar, cinnamon, toast and aromatic herbs, nuanced by remembrances of coffee, tobacco, flowers, smoke, balsam and mineral. |
Palate | This reserva red wine of Bodega Hnos. Pérez Pascuas is sinewy and nuanced, with ripe black fruit and spices, a dash of dry earth and remembrances of underbrush, flowers and aromatic herbs. Superb acidity, with chalky tannins and a very long finish. |
Our personal opinion | Ever heard about the Super Tuscans? Well, Viña Pedrosa Reserva 2018 might rightly be called a Super Ribera. |
