Jesús Yllera 2019

The 2019 Jesús Yllera, influenced by the vision of Jean-Claude Berrouet, who works with them at Vivaltus, looks for more elegance and freshness. It's a blend of 90.5% Tempranillo, 8.5% Cabernet Sauvignon and 1% Merlot that matured in barrel for 12 months. It has contained ripeness, 14.1% alcohol and a pH of 3.48. It combines more classical notes with herbal and balsamic notes from the Bordeaux varieties, giving it a twist of freshness. The palate is medium- to full-bodied with mostly resolved tannins. A total of 26,171 bottles and 1,914 magnums were produced. It was bottled in June 2021. (Luis Gutiérrez)

Subtle sweet spices, mossy blackberries and a touch of chocolate. Firm, dusty tannins with supple, juicy fruit and a long finish. A restrained Ribera del Duero. Drink now or hold. (Zekun Shuai)

Classic style on the nose, with red berries and incense, hints of leafy freshness. Powerful fruit core supported by fresh acidity. (Medalla de plata en los Decanter World Wine Awards)
