Emina 2009 Prestigio (Ribera del Duero)

Country: Spain / Prestigio
Variety: Tempranillo Northern Spain
Winery: Emina / Ribera del Duero

Prestigio is dense and plush on the bouquet, with concentrated blackberry, cassis and cumin aromas that come across entirely positive. The palate is ultra ripe and packed with earthy, baked flavors of raisin, black plum and Middle Eastern spice notes. Things turn meaty, rich and a bit soft on the finish. Drink now through 2015.
