The 2023 Rafael Sastre comes from La Horra, Ribera del Duero, and is made from vineyards planted by Rafael and his father in the 1980s. It opens with lovely fruit, offering a touch of violet and black cherry. The palate is juicy and flavorful, with fine tannins and generous flow. Not a rustic wine but one where flavor leads.
