Cruz 2011 Sagra (Ribera del Duero)

Country: Spain / Sagra
Variety: Tempranillo Northern Spain
Winery: Cruz / Ribera del Duero

Dominant aromas of char and rubber give way to chocolaty oak and vanilla on what amounts to a confected, forced bouquet. This feels flush and oaky. Flavors of creamy oak, vanilla, milk chocolate and herbal berry finish resiny and woody.
