Protos 2005 Gran Reserva (Ribera del Duero)

Country: Spain / Gran Reserva
Variety: Tempranillo Northern Spain
Winery: Protos / Ribera del Duero

This is the best Protos wine I’ve ever tasted. The nose offers up tobacco, moss and soft berry aromas. In the mouth, it’s intense, deep and still tannic, with baked, earthy flavors of blackberry, plum, tobacco and coconut. The finish is stuffed with chocolate, herb, spice and cola flavors along with undeniable density. An excellent wine to drink now through 2020.
