Martín Berdugo 2012 Barrica (Ribera del Duero)

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

Ripe plum and berry aromas share the nose with heavy oak notes. This Tempranillo feels dry and tannic, while initially it tastes mostly like sawdust and oak. Deep digging and patience reveal briary berry and salty notes amid a lot of wood.
