Frisk och energisk som Tempranillo också kan vara. Både med mörka bär, örter, och kryddor. Allt hålls i ett fast grepp av en intensiv syra, som skapar dynamik i vinet. Här får man verkligen valuta för pengarna.

Working in different high-level restaurants in Barcelona, I am always lucky enough to try many wines. One day this wine arrived and I was dazzled. It came from a small producer who in the 1930s started a family project in the Ribera del Duero, where the definitive push came in the 1980s, with the creation of the Designation of Origin. I'm talking about Mr. Santiago López. Then his son, also Santiago, after a few years as a winegrower, made his own wine, creating what is known today as Bodegas López Cristóbal. The name is the result of the union of two surnames: López, from Santiago, and Cristóbal, from Lola, his wife. Galo López Cristóbal, third generation, was key in the definitive consolidation of the winery, providing a more personal character to the wines.
La Linde is a young, fresh and fruity wine that reflects the character of Ribera del Duero. These virtues have led it to win the Great Baco de Oro, Luis Hidalgo Award, as Best Young Wine in the Baco awards organized by the Spanish Union of Tasters, where I was lucky enough to participate for a few years. Without a doubt, an excellent option for wine lovers looking for new experiences and new flavors. In terms of quality-price ratio, there are very few Riberas like this one. The key is to give maximum prominence to the vineyard, with care in viticulture. If this is their entry-level red wine, imagine their other four red wines. But, to start, don't forget this name: La Linde!

Wine Enthusiast

This garnet-colored wine has a nose of dark berries, butterscotch and a touch of crumbled sage. It fills the palate with cherry, Mission fig, mocha, clove and thyme flavors wrapped in a web of silky tannins that sail into a smooth finish.

Doften är tydligt blåbär, björnbär, plommon, något grafit, sötrostade ekfat, kakao, kaffe, choklad, engelsk lakrits, violer, grannålar och träiga noter samt en liten torrhet. Precis som med 2020:an är det inte så komplicerat, utan i stället lite rustikt ... man sitter fortfarande med massor av Ribera del Duero-charm. Smaken är mjuk, saftig med en viss sötma. Det finns svarta vinbär, björnbär samt en smula jordgubbar, torra tvättlappar, söt lakrits och kryddor, peppar, gran, choklad, mjuka tanniner och en lätt bitter balsamisk ton.
