2017 | Dominio de Atauta Valdegatiles | Ribera del Duero Saint-Julien crushed raspberryValdegatilles is the lowest of Dominio de Atauta's vineyard focused wines, although it's still located at a pretty elevated 930 metres. North facing and entirely clay based, it's often the most backward of the bodega's red, with a low pH and the concentration and acidity to age. Grippy, focused and tight, with sturdy tannins, lots of concentration and layers of damson, blueberry and wet earth. 96 Pts Tim Atkin
