Monthly Tasting Group HWS #085; Spain: Ribera del Duero. (by EvA): Concentrated bouquet with dark cherries and dark forest fruits as well as some lactic impressions. On the palate mainly dark forest fruits, some cherries as well, some earth, oak and a firm amount of round and sticky tannin. Concentrated wine. There was some discussion. Not everyone was a fan, but imho a very ok wine, although not extremely complex. Still quite young. 87+ for now.

On the nose there's black liquorice, perfume, cassis & black cherry ~ On the palate it's medium plus bodied with moderate acidity & grippy tannins with flavors of milk chocolate, wood, spice & black plums ~ Quite enjoyable

Dark in the glass. In the nose dark berries and burnt rubber. The taste comprises blackcurrant, blackberries and a fresh, clear fruit acid. An OK easy-to-drink Ribera.
