Vega Clara - Diez Almendros | Ribera del Duero DO
Red wine | Spain, CASTILLA Y LEON | 2021
This wine presents its characteristic beautiful and intense cherry color, with raspberry glints and a deep blueish-violet edge. Capturing both the complexity and elegance of great Ribera del Duero tempranillo, this wine offers come-hither aromas of ripe strawberry, red plum, black pepper, licorice and cocoa. On the palate the wine presents itself rich and full. While the texture is supple and creamy, good acidity keeps the flavors lively, while carrying the wine to a long, bright finish. Intense with ripe tannins.
