Carmelo Rodero 9 Meses – 2023 Vintage

In his most recent detailed review, critic James Suckling gave this wine 91 points, confirming its consistency within Ribera del Duero.

It is a markedly fresh, expressive red, with an engaging nose of black fruit — blackberry and blueberry — and subtle nuances of sweet spice and dark chocolate. The palate is medium to full-bodied and balanced, standing out for its polished, pleasantly "chewy" tannins.

The finish is clean and energetic, supported by well-integrated acidity that balances the ripe fruit and prolongs the sense of freshness.

Within the house range, this "9 Meses" stands out for a more direct, approachable style than the Crianza, favouring the purity of Tempranillo without letting oak overshadow the fruit.

At around €15.50, and given its score, it is often singled out as an excellent value choice — a real standout in its category.
