The first hit is spice, plum and cedar. Earth brings the extra detail; the firm tannin gives it grip without taking over.
At the table: Bring out roast beef or hard cheese; nobody needs a tiny plate tonight. The meat softens the tannin and pulls plum forward, so both the food and the wine come out better.
Origin: Ribera del Duero, Spain, Spain
Grape: Tempranillo
