Arrocal Ribera del Duero 2004
Ribera del Duero, Castilla-Leon, SpainOld vines (25 years) are the heart of the matter here. This is rich, mouth-filling red from Ribera Del Duero where the tempranillo frame is richer and the textures heavier. Flecks of vanilla, pepper and a dollop of alcohol give a New World feel to its berry fruit flavours but the dryness and the acidity leave it firmly grounded in the Old World. Drink now, or over the next five years. Good value.Tasted: 08 April 2007Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:| BC | $21.99 | 750ml |
