Mibal, Ribero del Duero "Seleccion" 2004

Purple/red.

Confectionary, deep, nose - creme brulee, seared meat in a pool of black raspberry coulis. PFG.

Round, with a bit of textural sweetness, immediately impacted by significant acid/tannin synergy. Coconut flavor dominates from the mid-palate on. Good length, but really driven by oak at this point. There's a custard character here, too.

Day 3 - Nose now a bit too confectionary (for me) - macaroon/cotton candy. Custard/souffle in the mouth. Simpler today. I'd like to see this in 3-5 years.
