Astrales, Ribera del Duero 2003

Purple/red.

Vinturi - grilled oak, black raspberry, earth, slight coconut nose.

Round, suave and intensely flavored. Strong acidity keeps this wine's fruit sweetness nicely in check. Long, perfumed, moderately tannic finish. I'd never think this was from 2003. Really good action that could use 4-6 more years of bottle age.
