Finca Villacreces Ribera del Duero Pruno 50 Barricas Edicioón Limitada

Medium-intensity nose of toasty currant, mineral, and sweet spice. Full, dark palate with firm tannins and fresh acidity on the finish. 3.5/5

This blend of 93% Tempranillo, 6% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 1% Merlot has a generous nose that is ripe and plummy with dark red cherry-berry, and red licorice aromas. The medium+ bodied palate is fruity with dark berry, cherry, and oak spice flavours supported by tannins that are a touch grippy and chalky textured. It's crunchy with good structure on the mid-palate, while delicious savoury notes are joined by dark red berry-cherry notes on the satisfyingly long finish.
