Tamaral 2011 Reserva (Ribera del Duero)

Country: Spain / Reserva
Variety: Tempranillo Northern Spain
Winery: Tamaral / Ribera del Duero

A big oaky can’t-miss blast of clove and wood spice is more dominating than secondary berry aromas. This is resiny and full in body, with ample acidity. Oak plays a lead role on the flavor profile, which includes toast, mint and herbal black plum. A peppery toasty finish benefits from moderate juicy acidity. Drink through 2021.
