Tasting - Acón Roble Ribera Del Duero


Name:  Acón Roble Ribera Del Duero
Variety:  Tempranillo
Region: Castilla y Leon
Country: Spain
Year: 2013
Price: $15.99
Review: Wine made exclusively with Tempranillo from vines 15 years old and fermented at 23 ° C. Aged for five months in Bordeaux barrels of oak and five months in bottle. High Capa. Strong cherry red with purple trim marked thin layer. Clean and bright. Intense and very balanced. Elegant. Attractive notes of very ripe red and black fruits. Spicy background and toasted with hints of toffee and coffee, powerful and displays, active tasty. Gourmand notes of ripe fruit concentrated, accompanied by chocolate, liquorice and cocoa.
My Review:  The aroma of this wine is of tobacco and black pepper.  The color is a beautiful ruby red.  This is a full bodied red wine with balanced acidity and tannins that leave your mouth puckering for more! The flavors are layered with smoky and peppercorn notes along with dark berry flavors of blackberry and blueberry. The finish is spicy and memorable. I highly recommend this wine if you are a Tempranillo fan like me!  This wine would be delicious with a spicy red sauce.
