The 2020 Dominio de Es La Diva is an 【exceptionally rare and highly acclaimed Ribera del Duero red】, with only 841 bottles produced from century-old, pre-phylloxera vines farmed biodynamically. Critics like Robert Parker have awarded it 96-99 points (barrel sample) and 97 points (bottled), hailing it as potentially the finest wine from Dominio de Es to date. This vintage is notable for its moderate alcohol content (13.42%) and a long 51-53 day maceration, followed by 20 months of aging in used Burgundian barrels, contributing to its elegance and complexity. It presents a deep cherry red with violet highlights. The nose is pure, complex, and ethereal, offering notes of cherries, wild herbs, minerality, rust, cocoa powder, thyme-like herbs, licorice, and fine blueberries, almost evoking a Pinot sensibility. The palate is refined, with balanced acidity, fine-grained tannins, and a long, persistent finish, showcasing both power and finesse. It's described as slightly introverted, benefiting from patience to reveal its full complexity.
