Xavier Flouret 2012 Pavo Real (Ribera del Duero)

Country: Spain / Pavo Real
Variety: Tempranillo Northern Spain
Winery: Xavier Flouret / Ribera del Duero

Earthy black-fruit aromas include notes of cigar box. This feels tight and acidic, but with plenty of oak. Flavors of woodspice and vanilla are more dominant than plum and berry notes, while this is thick but not entirely thorough on the finish.
