Is Ribera del Duero a good wine?
Tasting profile
Bright red in the glass with an intense yet smooth profile, this Ribera del Duero leads with dark cherry and threads of tobacco and chocolate, carried on a medium body where resonant oak and well-blended tannins add depth. Lively acidity sparkles through the finish, and reviewers note it rewards decanting an hour before serving.

“Amazing. Simply Loved This Wine. Half The Bottle Was Enjoyed Decanted Almost Immediately After Opening. The Other Half Was enjoyed the Next Day. Both Experiences Were Delightful.”

Summary
It appears with hints of roast from the grape and top-quality wood. On the palate, the sweetened tannins of the concentrated black fruits blend with the dry creamy tannins of the French oak. It is full of flavor, strong, fleshy and unfolds a truly suggestive range of tastes.
