Alidis 2009 Reserva (Ribera del Duero)

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

Smooth and lightly roasted on the bouquet, this has tobacco, cola, fine oak and earthy berry aromas. It feels generous but a little soft and syrupy, with raisin, licorice and savory baked-fruit flavors. The finish is long and continues to be savory tasting. Drink now–2014.
