Glass-staining purple. Hugely aromatic nose offers a sexy bouquet of dark berry and cherry preserves, iron, graphite and oak spices. Fleshy and sweet, with deep blackberry and mulberry flavors. Smoky minerals build with air and carry through an impressively long, chewy finish, which leaves a trail of baking spice and floral notes behind. This is really alluring.

Rating for Spain-Vinos de la Tierra (VdlT)-Ribera del Duero: 95 (excellent)<br/><br/>Drinkability: young, aging quickly, could be good now<br/>
