Ribera del Guadiana, Extremadura and the Southwest, SpainTasted again, one year along, and this impresses as before. Finessed and fine grained, this quietly confident tempranillo / syrah comes from sustainably farmed steep slopes in Ribera del Guadiana DO, in the Extremadura region near Spain's Mediterranean coast. After a native ferment this spends one year in 500L French oak prior to one year in bottle, with little intervention and low sulphur throughout. Worn leather, cured meats, salted cherry, plum, green tobacco, smoke and burnished salts are carried with a narrow stream of acidity, framed with finely worn tannins to a lingering, gentle finish. Savoury, striking, this is drinking well now.Tasted: 19 January 2018Tasted by: Prices:| Spain | $30.00 | 750ml | winery direct |
