Arzuaga 2004 Gran Reserva (Ribera del Duero)

Country: Spain / Gran Reserva
Variety: Tempranillo Blend Northern Spain
Winery: Arzuaga / Ribera del Duero

For aged Ribera del Duero, this is right on target. An elegant, lightly leafy nose with lemony oak and tobacco notes along with dried berry and plum aromas is spot on and classy. The palate feels plump and honest, with moderate tannins. Flavors of earthy plum and berry, tobacco and a pantry’s worth of spice finish full and chunky. Drink through 2022.
