Pradorey 1999 Crianza (Ribera del Duero)

Country: Spain / Crianza
Variety: Tinto del Pais Northern Spain
Winery: Pradorey / Ribera del Duero

Grainy, unfocused aromas start it off, and the wine just never gets back on track after that. The palate is bulky and overdone with plum and prune flavors, while the finish seems sweet and raisiny, and without a lot of harmony. As a whole it’s chewy yet neither here nor there.
