Alonso del Yerro 2017 Magnum (x3)

The ripe and juicy 2017 Alonso del Yerro was cropped from a challenging and warm vintage, a selection of Tempranillo grapes from their vineyards in the Roa zone of Ribera del Duero that are farmed organically and biodynamically even if the wines are not certified. It's ripe without excess, jammier than the 2016 María I tasted next to it, with a round and full-bodied palate with glossy tannins. A triumph over the adverse conditions, I'd say... It was bottled in July 2019.
