Torres 2005 Celeste Crianza (Ribera del Duero)

Country: Spain / Northern Spain
Variety: Tempranillo
Winery: Torres / Celeste Crianza

Torres’ Celeste debuted in 2003, and the ’05 is the best vintage to date. The wine has penetrating berry and spice aromas and an accent of animal leather. The palate is healthy and polished, with plum, blackberry and herbal notes. Comes together well and should be good in the cellar through 2012.
