Astrales 2013 Ribera del Duero

Country: Spain /
Variety: Tinto Fino Northern Spain
Winery: Astrales / Ribera del Duero

Black cherry and cassis aromas are bold but basic. This feels fiercely tannic and astringent. Meaty flavors of cherry and black plum end with dried berry notes, prune and rock-hard tannic bite. Give this more time if possible, but like many 2013s it might never soften and improve.
