Alidis 2007 Expresión Tempranillo (Ribera del Duero)
- Editors' Choice
- $70
Rooty and earthy smelling, this has aromas of leather, cassis, tobacco, dried cheese and cola. It feels rich and nicely textured, with firm but friendly tannins that set up tobacco, coffee, mocha and roasted berry flavors. It’s chocolaty in an uncanny way on the finish. Drink now through 2018.

Alidis 2006 Gran Reserva Tempranillo (Ribera del Duero)
- $60
This is earthy, cool and foresty on the bouquet, with a coconut note that accents the wine’s deep berry aromas. It feels smooth and nicely balanced, with modest tannins and toasty, oaky flavors of spiced blackberry and licorice. Smooth and subtle on the finish, this is ripe, stylish and ready to drink now.

Alidis 2001 Gran Reserva Tempranillo (Ribera del Duero)
- Online Exclusive
- $75
Complex and showing so much of what we love about Ribera del Duero. Baking spices, mature fruit and leather grace the stately bouquet, while the palate sings a pretty tune of berries, plum and brown sugar. There’s thrust and potency to the mouthfeel but also a toasty, rich, mocha character. Drinking good now but should hold in there for another five to eight years.

Drink now through 2012.

Alidis 2005 VS Tempranillo (Ribera del Duero)
- Online Exclusive
- $100
Oaky and superconcentrated, with shoe polish and other dark aromas forming a cap on the bouquet. Airing reveals a rugged, fully oaked and tannic wine, with baked berry, baking spice, raisin, syrup and chocolate flavors all wrapped up in a chewy, chunky frame. Sweet, rich and saturated stuff. Drink now or hold through 2017.

Alidis 2009 VS Tempranillo (Ribera del Duero)
- Cellar Selection
- $100
Cola, coconut and ripe blackberry aromas are draped all over the wine’s bouquet. On the palate, it’s a bit choppy and acidic, with pounding flavors of black cherry, blackberry and leather. Juicy, zesty and jagged feeling at the moment, this should be consumed no earlier than 2014 and may be at its best around 2018.

Alidis 2009 Reserva Tempranillo (Ribera del Duero)
- $56
Smooth and lightly roasted on the bouquet, this has tobacco, cola, fine oak and earthy berry aromas. It feels generous but a little soft and syrupy, with raisin, licorice and savory baked-fruit flavors. The finish is long and continues to be savory tasting. Drink now–2014.

Alidis 2009 Expresión Tempranillo (Ribera del Duero)
- Cellar Selection
- $70
Roasted and rubbery, this features potent leather and compost aromas that settle with airing. Angular, aggressive and full of power and lemony oak, it also has raw wood and heavily toasted black-fruit flavors. Long, peppery and choppy, it’s powerful and stomping. Best to hold this for 3–5 years before drinking, when it should emerge as a better, more approachable wine.
