Produced without Cabernet Sauvignon for the first time, it's the polar opposite of the big, ripe, overwooded styles of Ribera. Nuanced, refined and hauntingly balanced, with perfumed oak, lovely texture and balance, leafy, graphite-like complexity and the length of a world-class wine. 2023-35.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJane Anson 95 Points | Muscular, slate hewn tannins, this has a rugged quality where nothing is overpowered by oak and yet it hugs the palate, making its presence felt. Serious tannic architecture that softens through the mid palate to show creamy raspberry and red cherry fruits, spiced aniseed, fennel and liqourice root, sinewy tannins, totally moreish. Aged in 25% new oak, 10% amphora, and the rest in neutral barrels. Jean-Claude and Jeff Berrouet consultants, with winemaker Montxo Martinez and owners Marcos and Carlos Yllera. Old vine Tempranillo, including some dating right back to pre-Phylloxera, sat at between 750m and 1000m altitude, from a selection of their own vines, and those of local growers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eMemo Summary Notes\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"0\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"citation-86\"\u003eThe \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"4\" data-path-to-node=\"0\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"citation-86\"\u003e2018 Bodega Vivaltus \"Vivaltus\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan class=\"citation-86 citation-end-86\"\u003e is a prestigious, \"new wave\" Ribera del Duero that has rapidly gained cult status.\u003csup data-turn-source-index=\"1\" class=\"superscript\"\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"citation-85\"\u003eIt is the flagship wine of a project by the Yllera family, who famously enlisted \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"200\" data-path-to-node=\"0\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"citation-85\"\u003eJean-Claude Berrouet\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan class=\"citation-85\"\u003e—the legendary former winemaker of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"255\" data-path-to-node=\"0\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"citation-85\"\u003eChâteau Pétrus\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan class=\"citation-85 citation-end-85\"\u003e—to help create a wine of \"Bordeaux-like\" elegance rather than the heavy, over-extracted style common in the region.\u003csup data-turn-source-index=\"2\" class=\"superscript\"\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"source-inline-chip-container ng-star-inserted\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"citation-84 citation-end-84\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"67Wine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51359840895259,"sku":"210000059577","price":199.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0694\/1789\/4171\/files\/77506_lZDBuc8MuJo2zzXNVUN7.jpg?v=1769964493","url":"https:\/\/67wino.shop\/products\/bodega-vivaltus-vivaltus-ribera-del-duero-2018-750ml","provider":"67","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
