Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

The youth, freshness, balance and harmony of the 2016 Peñas Aladas Gran Reserva is gobsmacking. The wine is a little shy, insinuating, reticent and a little closed, and it feels younger than it is. It comes from a collection of small plots of some of the oldest vines in the village of La Aguilera in the lieu-dit, or 'paraje,' that names the wine, in a small valley surrounded by pine, holm and juniper trees, where there is a cold draft of air and the temperature is lower than in the rest of the village. The soils are sandy and intermixed with clay on a marl mother rock. The plants are mostly Tempranillo, but as they are very old vines, there's always a field blend of other varieties—Albillo Mayor, Monastrell, Garnacha, Bobal and Cariñena—all fermented together with full clusters that were foot trodden in concrete vats and indigenous yeasts. Malolactic was in barrel and lasted for 11 months, while the élevage was extended to a total of 55 months (almost five years!). After all this time in barrels, the wine is not oaky at all; it's floral and perfumed, elegant, nuanced and layered. The texture is silky, and it's medium-bodied, with moderate ripeness, 14% alcohol and very good freshness denoted by a pH of 3.41. It has fine tannins that make it nicely textured and fine-boned, with subtle minerality. This should be veeeeeery long lived, as it has the stuffing, all the ingredients and the balance between them to make old bones. Amazing juice. 3,591 bottles and 51 magnums were filled in April 2021.

Features

Description

Dominio del Águila Peñas Aladas Gran Reserva is a red wine made with 95% Tempranillo and a minimum contribution of other red varieties and albillo by the Dominio del Águila winery.
The grapes used come from three small plots located in one of the coldest areas of Ribera del Duero and planted mainly with Tempranillo and other red and white grape varieties.

Winemaking

The grapes are harvested by hand. In the winery, the bunches of all the varieties are crushed together without destemming and then fermented in stainless steel tanks with indigenous yeasts.
Malolactic fermentation and subsequent ageing for 45 months in French oak barrels in the cool caves of the winery, allowing for a slow evolution that gradually rounds out the wine, giving it enormous complexity.

Taste

Complex and mature in the mouth, silky on the palate, with noble tannins and an austere minerality. It is fresh and with an elegance within the reach of very few, making it a wine of perfect balance and with an overwhelming personality.
An impressive Ribera del Duero!

Powerful and structured wine

Dominio del Águila Reserva is the flagship red wine of the Dominio del Águila winery that aims to be a representation of the people of La Aguilera: fine, serious and elegant.
Dominio del Águila is a family winery founded by Jorge Monzón and Isabel Rodero in 2010 and based in La Aguilera, a small village in Ribera del Duero.
