Torre de Golban Ribera del Duero (75cl, 14.5%)

A 100% Tempranillo red wine from Spain's D.O. Ribera del Duero, bottled at 14.5% ABV in a 750ml bottle. The fruit comes from vines ranging from 60 to 100 years old and is aged for 12 months in French oak. Bodega Atalayas de Golban farms younger plantings alongside ancient parcels, using exclusively the Tinto Fino clone of Tempranillo. The wine matures for 12 months in French oak barrels, 30% of which are new. The nose shows cassis, black cherry, roasted coffee, tobacco leaf, balsamic undertones, floral and liquorice nuances. The palate is polished and round, with dark plum, raspberry, dark chocolate, espresso, satin-textured tannins and well-integrated acidity. The finish is long and balsamic, with mineral, smoke, spice cake and firm refined tannins.
