Viñedos de Altura Ribera del Duero Tinto Fino

Primarily Tempranillo with small amounts of Abillo Mayor and Garnacha blended in. Vibrant ruby/purple color. Aromas of ripe black fruit, wet soil, crushed rocks and baking spices. Flavors of plush black berries and plums, dark chocolate, coffee, fresh herbs, cloves and nutmeg. Nice touch of sweet vanilla on the long and grippy finish. Full bodied, well structured and rich. Tannins have smoothed but there still is a bit of grip. A fruit forward easy drinker. Excellent quality for the price. Appreciate you sharing this wine with me, Kase.

Like biting into a big, ripe, black plumb: very big; best to have the right food on hand to accompany it. Excellent with chocolate.
