2019 D.O. Ribera del Duero Selección "Finca el Grajo Viejo", Castilla y León, Spain

Firm and quite deep, tart, somewhat tobacco and a hint of ashy scent of ripe black berries with moderate barrel tones, quite fresh vegetal nuances, herbs and a little juniper and pepper. Very tightly knit, ripe, juicy, polished fruit with lots of herbaceous-etheric and also peppery spice, dense and persistent, youthful, very fine tannin, with all its power also has coolness, some ice confectionery on the palate, slightly smoky and hints of toasty tones, salty hints in the background, still little developed, very good, firm, polished finish. Needs to mature.
