Condado de Haza Ribera del Duero Tempranillo

Can’t remember how much I spent but husband liked it. Fruit forward, dry, light on the tannin.

The night before Christmas pizza wine. Initial mustiness blew off revealing a great wine before fading. Stored (lost) in the home cellar since release.

Deeply extracted, purple. Sweet pea, cassis, butter and a touch of eucalyptus in nose. Black currant flavor, high seed tannin, skin astringency on finish.

Deeper fruit than the Pesquera. Seemed a touch more modern but lovely none the less and my preference over the former on this night.

Purple red in color. Graphite, violet and cooked kale in nose. Earthy, mushrooms and mild blackberry flavor. Skin astringency on front of tongue, mild bitterness on finish. Worth decanting or aging a bit

Soooo good! I can’t believe how much wonderful structure there is for this wine: great fruit such as dried red currant and black plum, a hint of boysenberry, followed by white pepper, old leather, earthiness, balanced tannins, and a slightly spicey finish. Such a great value and very enjoyable with bone-in ribeye and eloté grilled corn. Still firmly “Old World” style, so earthiness is the driving factor in this rustic, yet satisfying wine.

Great value, rustic Tempranillo. If you like a rustic, earthy, mushroomy wine with firm tannins and good acid, then this is your wine! It leads with some earthy Brett character, spicy dark fruits, and a bit of heat(14.5) Fantastic with a mushroom burger and a charred ribeye.

Old school and drinking very well after a two hour decant
