Condado De Haza Ribera Del Duero / 750 ml

This crianza shows aromas of dates, orange rind, cigar box and espresso. Full and chewy with good freshness, toasty walnut flavors and a solid finish. Drink now or hold. 91 james Suckling Winemaker Notes Clean and brilliant with an attractive black cherry color and purple undertones. Quite intense aromatics revealing ripe red berry and black fruits. Licorice notes, typical of the Tempranillo variety, also come through. Sweet, roasted coffee bean aromas follow with hints of vanilla and touches of spice. A fleshy, silky entry on the palate with perfectly integrated acidity and very pleasant, gentle tannins. Black fruit flavors in the finish with blackberry in particular. The oak is very nicely integrated, expressing notes of toast and vanilla, characteristic of a wine aged in American oak barrels. A medium to long finish.
