Alegra 2012 Crianza (Ribera del Duero)

Country: Spain / Crianza
Variety: Tempranillo Northern Spain
Winery: Alegra / Ribera del Duero

Mild leather and horse aromas blend with blackberry and cassis notes to form a familiar RDD nose. This feels grabby and tannic, but fair. Flavors of baked plum and cassis are a touch salty. It finishes with mostly ripe berry, tobacco, oak and vanilla flavors.
