Raiz de Guzman 2000 Tempranillo (Ribera del Duero)
-
$61
Neither flabby nor fat, with aromas of leather, hard cheese, berries and oak. Cherry, red licorice and more oak carry the palate, while the finish is short but stout, with yet more wood-driven reinforcement. Arguably too woody for what it is, but solid nonetheless. Imported by Haro Imports.
