About This Wine:Celeste is an opulent wine brimming with fruit, body and color: as unique as the night sky in the Ribera del Duero.
Intense blackberry colour. Spicy and intense nose, with liquorice and black pepper hints on a base of well ripened fruits (blackberry and cherry). On the palate, very fruity at first with ripened tannins, also persistent and full bodied.
Ratings & Reviews
91 Points - Wine Enthusiast Magazine (2006 vintage):"Since Torres launched Celeste a few years ago, the wine has gotten better and better with each passing vintage. The 2006 is friendly and complete, with no outlying or iffy aromas or flavors. This is textbook Ribera; it has smoothness and size along with intriguing black cherry, plum, herbs, tea and tobacco. A bottling for pretty much any wine lover." - M.S. (4/1/2009)
90 Points - Wine & Spirits Magazine (2006 vintage):"Built on a solid base of black currant and cherry flavors, this 100 percent tinto fino slowly expands its flavor profile to a spicier tone, while the tannins remain firm. For roast baby lamb."
Wine Spectator Magazine (2006 vintage):"Black cherry, sanguine and espresso flavors mingle in this firm red,
which is austere now, but the structure is balanced, and there's a
floral note on the finish that promises to bloom with time. Drink now
through 2014. 2,500 cases imported." - TM (5/2009)
Serve between 16-17 ºC. Owing to its fruity and tannic characteristics, this wine pairs well with a great variety of meat dishes including roasts and small game.
