Tamaral
Crianza Ribera del Duero Tempranillo
Ribera del Duero, Castilla y León, Spain
Nose: cherries, plums, mushrooms, licorice, wet wool
Taste: big soy sauce with sour cherries and under-ripe strawberries
The first time I had this, it had aged for about 9 years and the tannins were huge - after aging for 15 years, the tannins have mellowed and opened up a very (VERY) subtle sweetness which complements the umami profile really well.

Little bit of smoke on the nose with dense candied fruit. Nice and plush on the palate - black cherry, licorice. Full tannins. Enjoyable.

Excellent. Dry, yet smooth with hints of blackberries with a tart finish
