    Joaquin Hidalgo,
    Vinous
    The 2019 Vivaltus hails from Ribera del Duero and was aged up to 12 months in barrel and amphora. Garnet in color, it opens with licorice and wild herbs—laurel and meadow tones—then shifts into black and red fruit, adding complexity. The palate is compact, with reactive fine-grained tannins and a lightly angular structure, finishing with a soft chalky feel. A warmer vintage is evident in the riper fruit and tannin profile. It will evolve more quickly in bottle than the 2018.

    Delicious, saline, tongue-scraping tannic grip, vertical rise through the palate and yet rooted to the spot, more about texture and taste than aromatics at this point, but promising so much unfurling over the next four to five years.Studded with sage and rosemary, muscular blackberry and spiced raspberry, fully recommend getting to know this evolving and surprising Ribeiro del Duero. Jean-Claude and Jeff Berrouet consultants, with winemaker Montxo Martinez and owners Marcos and Carlos Yllera. Vineyards at 750m to 1000m attitude from high quality plots across the region, from a selection of their own vines and some of local growers. Aged in 25% new oak, 10% amphora, and the rest in neutral barrels.
