García Figuero 2011 12 Crianza (Ribera del Duero)

Country: Spain / 12 Crianza
Variety: Tempranillo Northern Spain
Winery: García Figuero / Ribera del Duero

Grilled aromas of fresh asphalt and slightly murky berry fruits improve with airing, as does a full-bodied palate with big tannins. Toasty, spicy flavors of herbal berry and cassis show good complexity but are far from tame. Finishing flavors of chocolate and pepper are dry and woody. Drink through 2027.
