Emina 2010 Crianza (Ribera del Duero)

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

Ripe berry aromas approach raisiny, but settle on jammy plum and leather. This is tannic and wide, with ruggedness to the mouthfeel. Flavors of earthy berry, baked fruits and cocoa end with grab, heat and burn. This is good but rough, like a gravel road.
