The 2011 Mibal Joven has a clean, pure, almost Gamay-like exuberance on the bouquet. The palate is fresh and clean with crisp, tobacco-tinged black fruit. It is harmonious; simple but delicious. Not a wine you would think about, at least only when the bottle is empty (which it will be.) Drink now-2015. Hornillos Ballesteros is a small winery located in the town of Roa. They farm 40 hectares of vineyard but select 15 hectares for their own vines, the rest of the crop being sold off. The first young wine was in 2004. They have changed their philosophy using wood, reducing the new oak on the Crianza and using larger barrels, e.g. 225-liter to 300-liter.Importer: Ole Imports, Patrick Mata, New Rochelle, NY; tel.

The 2010 Mibal is pure Tempranillo from the youngest vines between 12 and 20 years in age that sees no oak. It has an uncomplicated bouquet of dark cherries and boysenberry fruit infused by wet tobacco aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with rounded, quite supple tannins, plenty of spicy dark cherry and dark plum that leads to a sedate, almost leisurely finish. Drink now-2014.

The 2009 Mibal Joven was sourced from 100% organically farmed Tempranillo fermented and aged in stainless steel. From the outstanding 2009 vintage, it offers up an exceptionally perfumed nose of Asian apices, lavender, black cherry, and blackberry. Savory, ripe, nicely proportioned, and lengthy on the palate, it is a pure expression of 2009 fruit at a bargain price. Miguel Hornillos and Javier Ballesteros have combined their vineyard holdings to produce first-class, fairly priced wines from Ribera del Duero.
