Deep ruby. Ripe dark berry and cherry scents are complemented by notes of mocha, dried flowers, vanilla and woodsmoke. Offers palate-coating blackberry and bitter cherry flavors, with peppery spice and mineral qualities adding lift. Finishes with very good clarity and power, framed by supple, harmonious tannins. This suave Ribera del Duero wine drinks quite well now with a bit of decanting.
