2019 D.O. Ribera del Duero Crianza, Castilla y León, Spain

Firm and quite deep, youthful aroma of ripe black berries with a little dry herbs and tobacco, smoky traces and hints of dark ethereal spice. Ripe, tight, rather juicy dark fruit, slightly smoky and a hint of bitter-chocolatey wood, a little dry herbs and again dark ethereal spice in the background, present, yet fine and ripe tannin, persistent and dense on the palate, restrained power, also cooling elements, has polish and fine bite, good depth, very good finish, again with a lot of ripe juice and some ethereal spice.
