It's hard to believe this is a 'second wine'; it is more serious and complex than many a Grand Vin in the region. So clean and pure, with incredible freshness and finesse; tannins with a reassuringly rustic grip, but the quality of the tannins is impeccable. This is Ribera but not as you know it, robust but refined with wonderful balance. Berry fruit, liquorice, spice and flowers, it is joyful and primary with a long life ahead. As the Clarete, this is a 'field blend' of mostly Tempranillo with Bobal, Albillo, Garnacha and others.

94 James Suckling

Gorgeous aromas of crushed blackberries, raspberries and lemon peel. Full body, yet refined and polished tannins. Mostly tempranillo co-fermented with garnacha and bobal. old vines. Superb finish. Great wine.

92 Wine Advocate

The 2013 Pícaro Tinto is Tempranillo with 5% Albillo from a mixture of north facing vineyards in the Sotillejo quarter of La Aguilera, the village of Burgos where they have all of their vineyards. They do not own a destemmer machine, so all of their wines ferment in full clusters and always with indigenous yeasts, in this case in cement vats. This 2013 had a shorter aging in barrel than the previous years and they also used a smaller percentage of new oak. This part of the village produces wines of great energy; the nose is fresh with an Atlantic, cool, herbal twist, representing the vintage, a year with a shorter vegetative cycle in the shape of red and black wild berries with some floral hints. This is an accessible, fresh and quite fruit-driven Ribera from a cool place in a cool vintage. The oak is very nicely integrated, with some spices and some grainy, slightly chalky tannins. Ideal for food. 8,000 bottles.

91 Antonio Galloni - Vinous

Bright violet color. Vibrant cherry and dark berry scents are sharpened and lifted by smoky mineral and floral accents. Fleshy and broad but surprisingly lithe, offering powerful black and blue fruit flavors and a touch of allspice. Silky, seamless and appealingly sweet on the long, penetrating finish, which features sneaky tannins and a persistent cherry liqueur quality.

Producer

About Dominio del Águila

Founded as recently as 2010, Bodegas Dominio del Águila is forging a new path through its incredible cuvées from the famous Ribera del Duero region in Spain. Famed, quite rightly, for its staggeringly rich, bold and uncompromising wines, this young estate is offering an altogether more elegant, restrained and highly terroir-focused interpretation of the region and its varietals. Judging by both the demand for its wines and the critical acclaim achieved in well under a decade, this is clearly an alternative of which oenophiles are more than welcome.

Situated in the village of La Aguilera, Dominio del Águila is the brainchild of Jorge Mónzon and partner Isabel Rodero. Collectors may be surprised that wine of such quality can be crafted by such a young winemaker from an estate very much in its infancy. It just so happens that Jorge boasts what may be the single most impressive CV of any young winemaker on Earth – his very first full-time viticultural position was at Domaine de la Romanée-Conti! Departing France for his native Spain, he worked at one of the most famous estates in the country, Vega-Sicilia.

Viniculture

It was whilst working at Bodegas Arzuaga-Navarro, however, that the ambitious vigneron came across a number of ancient vineyard parcels whose grapes were being sold to, and used in the prestige cuvées of, other wineries across the region. Seizing his moment, Jorge and Isabel snatched these plots up, mainly Tempranillo, some of which were over 100 years old.

Farmed fully biodynamically, terroir expression is extraordinarily important to the couple. “Our goal is to make pure and fine wines” says Jorge, and Dominio del Águila would certainly win the golden boot in this regard. Chief amongst their deeply covetable range is the breath-taking “Peñas Aladas” Gran Reserva. Sourced from some of the very oldest vines in La Aguilera on the eponymous hillside of Peñas Aladas, this is a unique and fascinating terroir within the region. Situated at a lofty 880 meters above sea-level, these vineyard plots are some three whole degrees Celsius cooler than the average temperature in the surrounding area. A cool climate site, in the context of Ribera del Duero, the terroir is conducive to long, slow fruit maturation giving complexity and power to the sublime grapes.
