Bodegas Balbás Alitus 2016

Deep, intense ruby colour with garnet glints. Dense, persistent legs revealing its structure and concentration.

On the nose it's complex and captivating. Opening notes of ripe red fruit such as cherries and blackberries, interwoven with delicate ‘nuances’ of vanilla, toast and spice from oak ageing. Subtle touches of cocoa and tobacco complete the aromatic richness of this wine.

On the palate it's broad, powerful and silky. Firm, well-integrated tannins give an enveloping texture. Persistent fruit flavours blend elegantly with the oak notes, creating a balanced, sophisticated sensory experience. Long, persistent finish.

Balbás Alitus 2016 is a remarkable example from Ribera del Duero. Its aromatic complexity and impressive structure show the mastery behind this wine. It expresses the essence of Tempranillo in full, offering a memorable sensory experience. A wine that stands out for its elegance and power, and promises to evolve gracefully over the years. Highly recommended for demanding wine lovers seeking wines of exceptional quality.
