A deep, complex nose, led by black cherry liqueur and chocolate with hints of coffee beans. Full and rich, but able to balance intense fruit with deft use of oak. Still so young and vibrant, there's great potential to evolve in bottle and gain complexity.

The 2022 Protos 27 is 100% Tempranillo from Ribera del Duero. It was aged 16 months in French oak barrels (new and one-year) and a further 12 months in bottle. Garnet in color, the wine opens with ripe fruit, plum, cedar and balsamic notes, including a hint of menthol. Expressive. In this warm vintage, the tannins are active, showing menthol, red fruit and more structure. The finish brings juiciness and fruit clarity. A Ribera in a New World style with open expression.

A violet-tinged florality mingles with polished, barrel-scented aromatics. The palate is almost hedonistic in flavor and texture, with plush, jammy fruit that will seduce those with a penchant for richness. Yet for all its charm, the tannins do remain assertive, so a few more years in bottle might provide the optimal drinking experience.
