Resalte 2001 Reserva (Ribera del Duero)

Country: Spain / Reserva
Variety: Tempranillo Blend Northern Spain
Winery: Resalte / Ribera del Duero

Mature and sound on the bouquet, but more snappy and sharp overall than you might anticipate for a 2001. Aromas of tobacco and bramble lead to flavors that you’d expect: more tobacco, dried plum, sour cherries, etc. Long and lean on the palate and finish, with pulse but a shortage of richness. It leaves you wanting more body and fruit.
