Crianza Ribera del Duero Tempranillo

Six 2005 reds from around the world to warm us up for our main flight. This did not stand up to the others

Excellent with Irish Guinness stew. Bold and Dry with weight to balance the strong flavors.

Una complejidad impresionante, notas de frutas maduras, especias y taninos bien integrados

Excellent well rounded wine. Can’t go wrong for the price.

Spectator gave it a 91 so I picked it up. Very unspectacular. Bottom line “it’s wine” as a friend once described mediocre wine. Nothing memorable but opened up slightly after an hour.
It one of a hundred wines I would drink again but not buy again.

Multilayered blackberry and black fruits aromas and flavors. Cherry. Menthol. Good minerality. Nice aftertaste. Two years ago it was too aggressive. Now it is balanced.

The aromas of beets, earth, spices. Medium tannins and low acidity, medium to full body.

Nariz: ciruela, mora, arandano, regaliz, vainilla, madera. La fruta madura.

Boca: taninos M+, acidez M, alcohol m+. Los taninos notables pero relativamente integrados. Buen balance. Muy buen vino por el costo.

$10 at Costco. A steal! I'll get more.
