D. Ventura, Vina Caneiro, Ribeira Sacra (Spain) 2006

Deep red.

Vinturi - smoke/seared meat, herb/veg nose. Deep, with spiced fig underneath.

Round, with a wild, immediate hit of chicken broth, herbs and an aggressive acid/sulfide edge that mangles any flow or pleasure.
Apparently raised in stainless. Could use a whole lot of air. Or, possibly, many more years in bottle. Might work itself out.
