Tasting - Ebano Ribera del Duero Tempranillo


Name: Ebano Ribera del Duero Tempranillo
Variety: Tempranillo
Region: N/A
Country: Spain
Year: 2007
Price: $7.95

Critic Review: The 2007 Ebano 6 is 100% Tempranillo aged 4 months in French oak. Dark ruby red in color, it displays a pleasant bouquet of cedar, spice box, violets, black cherry, and blackberry. Medium- to fullbodied on the palate with savory flavors and plenty of spice, this racy, vibrant Tempranillo has enough structure to drink well over the next 5-6 years and is a very good value. -- Robert Parker (87 pts)

My Review: This spicy red was smokier than the previous wine, but did not exhibit the same meat flavors.  I definitely tasted a bark-like flavor.  This wine had the most heat of all of the wines in the tasting.

I did not taste this wine with food
