"Glass-staining purple. Intense, expansive aromas of red and dark berries, smoky Indian spices, violet and licorice. Spicy, mineral-accented black raspberry and bitter cherry flavors show excellent clarity and become sweeter with air. This precise, lively, concentrated wine displays a deft blend of power and finesse. The mineral and red fruit notes repeat on the clean, nervy finish."

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.
