Tasting notes:Fragrant black licorice, black currant, and some cream on the noseFull bodied on the palateFinely textured and juicy finish of dark berries accented by dark chocolateSummary:There are pure flavors in this wine that are intense and extracted. The dark berries, currants, and black licorice present a modern style and one that showcases the potential intensity of the Tinto Fino (Tempranillo) grape. From the Ribera del Duero region of Spain, this wine is produced from a highly acclaimed winemaker and retails for $45 or so. It compliments grilled or roasted meat nicely.
