"The 2021 Pícaro del Águila, sourced from old vines in La Aguilera, Ribera del Duero, has a light garnet appearance. The nose offers enticing notes of sour cherry and a hint of blood over dried flowers. Light and lean, the chalky texture and faintly juicy palate lead to a compact, flavorful, lasting fruit finish. This is reminiscent of a Burgundy in its weight and overall feel." Joaquin Hidalgo, Vinous

"I tasted two vintages of the entry-level wine, starting with the 2021 Pícaro del Águila Tinto. It's ripe and round, with round tannins, velvety and polished, approachable and hedonistic. It's nicely built and serious, very serious for an entry level. 60,387 bottles and 1,968 magnums produced. It was bottled in February 2023." —Luis Gutiérrez

More about Dominio del Aguila

Jorge Monzón is bringing a fresh perspective to the wines of Ribera del Duero. A world renowned wine growing region, the wines of Ribera del Duero are famous, infamous to some for being rich and bold, often aging for years in new French oak barrels. Jorgé has chosen a different path and crafts wines that are elegant, restrained and truly express the terroir. In 2010, Jorge and his partner Isabel Rodero founded Dominio del Águila in the village of La Aguilera. They chose this village because it is close to some of the oldest vineyards in the region, many well over 100 years old, which is where they source grapes for their incredibly impressive wines.

Beside the the incredible raw material they work with Jorge's has an impressive of a resume as it gets in wine. He studied in Bordeaux and Burgundy and had long stints at Domaine de la Romanée-Conti and Vega Sicilia in Spain. While working at Bodegas Arzuaga-Navarro, he discovered some exceptional old vineyards in the Ribera that had previously been used to make some of the region's top wines. He decided to buy these vineyards and the rest is history

The vineyards mainly consist of Tempranillo, with some Blanca del País, Bobal, Garnacha, Albillo and Tempranillo Gris, and are farmed using organic and biodynamic methods. Dominio del Águila's philosophy is to blend tradition with modern technical knowledge to create pure and fine wines that can age for a long time, but unlike many of the region's famous wines, can be enjoyed in their youth.

Their wines exhibit extraordinary complexity, leaving one to wonder how they will age over the long term. Overall, Jorge Monzón and Dominio del Águila are revolutionizing the way Ribera del Duero's wines are perceived, and are quickly becoming a must-try for any wine enthusiast looking for something new and exciting.
