Yotuel Finca de Valdepalacios 2018

Consultant Béquer Prieto calls this "one of the best sites in Ribera del Duero" and only a fool would disagree with him. It's a one-hectare plot on clay and sandy soils that faces south, so is often picked early. Sweet, juicy and elegant, with tobacco leaf and wild strawberry notes, fine-boned tannins, subtle 50% new wood and the freshness and energy that define the style at this remarkable bodega. Drink through 2022-30.
