Bodegas Pedro Martínez Alesanco Rioja Valdeponzos

Medium ruby color, brightly toned. Very pretty aromatics - lifted black plum, red apple & cherry zest, with fresh violets, wet stone, nutmeg, bay leaf and tarragon. Sumptuous and fresh on the palate, with vivid red plum and black raspberry fruit along with secondary layers of red licorice, black tea, peppery spice rub and fresh purple flowers. Medium-bodied, with a lasting refined density, cool-toned acidity, and fine-grained tannins, finishing with lengthy cool succulence. Excellent.
