Bodegas y Viñedos Rauda 2005 Tinto Roa Crianza (Ribera del Duero)

Country: Spain / Tinto Roa Crianza
Variety: Tempranillo Northern Spain
Winery: Bodegas y Viñedos Rauda / Ribera del Duero

Chunky, earthy lead aromas have a hint of floral raspberry, but the palate is creamy and lactic, with milky cherry and plum flavors followed by a mildly bitter, peppery finish. Fairly solid for the most part, but its burnt and lactic notes don’t elevate it.
