Arrocal 2012 Ángel (Ribera del Duero)

Country: Spain / Ángel
Variety: Tinto Fino Northern Spain
Winery: Arrocal / Ribera del Duero

Aromas of tree bark, braised turnip and smoky black plum are rooty. This feels gritty and borderline astringent due to massive drying tannins. Savory earthy tarry blackberry flavors end with a hard tannic clamp. Drink this hefty brute from 2018 through 2035.
