Bodegas Franco-Españolas 2007 Royal (Rioja)

Country: Spain / Royal
Variety: Tempranillo Northern Spain
Winery: Bodegas Franco-Españolas / Rioja

Leans toward burnt and acrid on the nose, yet the palate is fresh but tight and scouring. Raspberry and red plum account for the flavors, while the finish is quick and fades off quietly. Tart and innocuous, but not problematic.
