Acid splashed coffee-coated cherries!
The merlot adds a darker fruit element to this Crianza. Leaves a dusty mocha feel on the finish. Really fun!

My least favourite ribera, and still decent enough to drink. They have a good thing going for them.

Drank 2 years ago and notes said to drink in 2022. Wow. Tons of black fruit subtle tannins. Delicious. Long lasting. Wish had more.

Dried red fruit, violet and earthy tobacco aromas. Pallet has a bright red fruit profile with hints of grilled herbs and coffee. Tannins are soft and approachable. Touch of oaky vanilla on the finish.

Tapenade on nose with red fruit. Big. Lots of fruit for 2005 with well integrated chalky tannins. Wet stone/mineral with a cherry on top. Great length. Fun. 1 more left. Drink in 2022.
