Values in Ribera del Duero (Chris H's home): IIRC, Lou picked this up for around $16. Probably a nod to the vintage as most of the wines tonight were 11-13 and 2010 was a much better vintage especially at the lower end in RdD. Purple/ruby in color. The nose is tight but shows some dark cherries, a bit of tobacco and hints of cedar. On the palate, there is not a lot of complexity here, but there is very vibrant fresh dark cherries. Light tannins. Delicious. I doubt it improves of gets better but for immediate drinking this is a great value. The group had this at #2 (it was #3 for me), although it got no first place votes either.
