Ribera del Duero DOC, Spain

Try this top-vintage red with a selection of meaty tapas like spiced lamb meatballs, grilled hangar steak with green onions or lamb chops preferably roasted with a healthy dose of garlic and herbs. Of course, Spanish cheese like firm, aged manchego, mild mahon or buttery torta del la Serena will be delicious.

Aroma: Inviting black and red cherry with notes of coffee, licorice and dusty earth.

Taste: Remarkably fresh black plum and cherry on the palate, lifted by soft notes of clove and mineral
