Finca La María 2005 Barrica (Ribera del Duero)

Country: Spain / Barrica
Variety: Tempranillo Northern Spain
Winery: Finca La María / Ribera del Duero

Funky and smelling of pine and tarragon. That aromatic sharpness carries straight to the palate, where the feel is narrow and the flavors are short and tangy, with little to no big-time berry fruit. Simply an acceptable underperformer that’s tough and sharp.
