Wine profile
Body
This wine: 4 out of 5 — closer to «full».
How heavy and full the wine feels in your mouth — from light like skimmed milk to rich like cream. It comes mainly from alcohol, extract and, in sweet wines, sugar.
Wine profile
Tannin
This wine: 4 out of 5 — closer to «firm».
Tannins come from grape skins, seeds and oak. You feel them as a pleasant drying grip on gums and tongue — from silky and velvety to firm and chewy.
Wine profile
Acidity
This wine: 3 out of 5 — right in the middle.
The freshness that makes your mouth water, like a squeeze of lemon. It gives a wine tension, length and ageing potential, and makes it great with food.
Wine profile
Alcohol
This wine: 5 out of 5 — closer to «» (15% vol.).

Description
Bodegas Áster belongs to the La Rioja Alta SA group. In the late 1980s they began studying soils and selecting the best estates in what was then the emerging Ribera del Duero. In 1993 they acquired old vines and started new plantings. The first Áster was born in 2000.
With a Mediterranean profile and challenging weather throughout the cycle. A spring with irregular rainfall gave way to a dry summer with high temperatures and moderate water stress, which favoured ripening and concentration of flavour in the grapes. A very high-quality harvest, shorter than previous years, with wines of great intensity, concentration, aromatic complexity and remarkable ageing potential. Officially rated EXCELLENT.
James Suckling: A solid wine, showing ripe yet fresh plums, cherries and fine, toasty spice. Medium to full-bodied, with structured, fine-grained tannins. A long, firm finish.
