"A rich Spanish red of concentration and density, with massive tannins that hardly even register, and ripe cassis, kirsch and meat flavors that are Port-like in texture and depth. Shows tremendous potential, but it's so intense now; it needs time in the bottle and air in the glass."

Spain has the largest area under vine of any country and a deep tradition of oak-aged reds. Tempranillo-based wines from Rioja and Ribera del Duero, alongside Priorat's Garnacha and Carinena, anchor its fine-wine reputation.
On Spain's high central plateau, Ribera del Duero makes powerful, concentrated Tempranillo (locally Tinto Fino). Wide day-night temperature swings yield deeply colored, structured and age-worthy reds.
Produces powerful, deeply colored Tempranillo from Spain's high plateau, prized for concentration and structure.
