Bodegas Balbas
Ardal Tradición Ribera del Duero Tempranillo
Ribera del Duero, Castilla y León, Spain
Deep Ruby with aromas of red and black fruits smoky oak, and spice. On the palate flavors of blackberry and plum with smoky pepper spice, lively acidity. Medium finish, fine grippy tannins, ending with fruit and burnt oak character.

Very smooth, can be drink with and without food. I paired with lamb and it was perfect. The Cabernet overpowers the Tempranillo but the result result is surprisingly good.

The 20% Cab was way too much and really takes over the Tempranillo. It is missing the delicate fruit that I was expecting. A bit woody as well resulting from new French oak used in aging. Definitely drinkable but disappointing.
