96 Points - Luis Gutiérrez (RobertParker.com):

"The Ribera del Duero project has been changing and a work in progress for a while, and there's only one wine produced, of which this time I tasted the 2016 Matallana. It's a traditional blend of Tempranillo with approximately 15% other grapes—Valenciano (Bobal), Navarro (Garnacha) and white Albillo—from different soils in five different villages, Sotillo de la Ribera, Roa, Fuentecén, Fuentemolinos and Pardilla. It fermented in oak and stainless steel vats with indigenous yeasts and matured in French oak barrels of different ages for 14 months. 2016 was also an abundant crop of wines with freshness. It's a traditional red with elegant rusticity and subtle aromas and is already gaining some tertiary notes. It has integrated oak and a medium to full-bodied palate with fine-grained tannins—fine but still identifiable as Ribera del Duero. They have the idea to renovate an old house to make the winery, but they are facing bureaucratic problems... 22,665 bottles produced. It was bottled in May and June 2018. There will be no 2017 of this wine." - Wine Advocate
