Bodegas Qumrán 2007 Crianza (Ribera del Duero)

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

Sweet and funky smelling, with a weird set of aromas that suggest Middle Eastern spice and hard-to-gauge fruit. The palate feel is barely acceptable, while the flavors are jumbled and overtly spicy and strange. Maybe it’s the oak? Or maybe it’s just not very good wine.
