Martín Berdugo 2005 Barrica (Ribera del Duero)

Country: Spain / Barrica
Variety: Tempranillo Blend Northern Spain
Winery: Martín Berdugo / Ribera del Duero

Opens with candied berry and salinic aromas. It’s tough in its youth and also a little too funky to inspire much confidence for the future. Toughness in tannins; toughness in fruit; quite peppery on the finish. It just isn’t that inviting.
