Bodegas Hidalgo 2014 Cuerno (Ribera del Duero)

Country: Spain / Cuerno
Variety: Tempranillo Northern Spain
Winery: Bodegas Hidalgo / Ribera del Duero

Most of what this is showing on the nose, palate and finish reflects the patchy ripeness of a tough vintage. Saucy, savory, roasted berry and earth aromas precede a high-acid palate with flavors of tomato, red plum, vanilla and lactic oak. Its dry, jagged finish is wiry and raw.
