Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
One of the heavyweights of the appellation, and not only because of its bottle or price tag size, is the 2014 Pesus. It felt quite ripe, and the label mentioned 15% alcohol. This is usually a blend of Tempranillo with some 20% between Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot fermented with indigenous yeasts and matured in new French oak barriques for 18 months. It is full-bodied, ripe, concentrated and intense, an XXL Ribera del Duero in all senses. For fans of the style. I find this 2014 a tad too ripe. Some 2,000 bottles were produced.
