Ankal 2013 Crianza (Ribera del Duero)

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

Oaky aromas of maple, blackberry and chimney grit set up a raw tannic palate. This tastes toasty and oaky, but with enough black-fruit flavor to support all that wood. Mild herb and spice flavors mix with tea and berry notes on the finish of this off-vintage Tempranillo. Drink through 2022.
