The 2020 Protos Reserva 5 Ano is 100% Tempranillo from Ribera del Duero. It was aged 18 months in French (80%) and American (20%) oak- new and one-year barrels- followed by 42 months in bottle before release. Garnet in color, it offers balsamic notes, graphite, underbrush, black fruit and a hint of cherry and blackberry on the nose. The oak provides a subtle flavor foundation. Tannins are present, with a smooth wood tone on the palate. Classic Ribera profile.

Spiced dark plums, cherries and hints of chocolate and minerals on the nose. Chewy but still vibrant fruit, with a medium to full body and tight-grained tannins. Juicy, granular and long.
