A delicious, soft, fruit bomb, this Ribera del Duero can be bought for a reasonable price. A round, well-made 1996 Crianza, it possesses a dark ruby color with purple nuances as well as abundant chocolate, black cherry, and berry fruit flavors. The velvety texture in addition to hedonistic up-front aromas and flavors provide a luscious mouthful of wine. Drink it over the next 5-6 years.
