24 RESERVA TEMPRANILLO 2018 DO Ribera del Duero
Vintage Assessments Tasting Note Producer BALBÁS
Deep purple garnet, red color. Fairly complex, very slightly spicy, gently earthy, intense, warm, ripe plum nose with some cedary sandalwood-cassis notes. Dry, medium-full body, well structured, bright, still youthful, intense, ripe plum, black cherry and cassis flavors with a lingering, bright, gently cedary finish. It has 15% alcohol with under 2 g residual sugar and lot number L1019 on the back label. This classic Ribera del Duero would work well with a steak and can still improve with a few more years of aging. CSPC 85183
