94pts James Suckling

Complex nose with plenty of sweet spices, pine cones, vanilla and black walnuts to the blackberries and black mushrooms. A hint of bergamot. Tight and creamy on the palate. Don’t be put off by the wood tannins if you open it and drink it while it is young. The fine-grained tannins mesh nicely with the full-bodied palate. While this is quite plush with an old-school Ribera del Duero style, the quality is still impressive. Needs time and should age well in the next 10-15 years. Better from 2026.

Winemaker Notes

Millenium is elegance – the ultimate expression of a gran reserva wine. Its origins date in 1996, when the first vintage was made, and its grapes come from the Viña Alta plot. The 1996 vintage, released in 2000, celebrated the new Millenium and the changes to come. It was the first wine of the estate to be aged in French Oak barrels. This is a well-balanced and complex wine with amazing ageing potential.
