    Beautiful dark purple color, aromas of black fruit and vanilla. Made with a selection of their finest grapes. This is a great Tempranillo from Ribera del Duero. Strong bodied yet medium acids and medium-strong tannins. The wine is great to taste or to keep a few more years in your cellar. Long finish. I enjoyed it and would love to visit Bodegas Balbás soon.
