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

A touch of oak and tobacco on the nose. Dark cherries, dirt. Very dusty tannins. Some vanilla and spice. Good balance and structure. An elegant, classy example of a Ribera.
