Pesquera, Ribera del Duero 2004

Saturated purple.

Vinturi - extremely attractive, sumptuous nose - earth/smoke/oak spice/grilled meat/custard/black pudding fruit. FK. Even some fresh herb action with air time.

Round and mouth-filling. Slightly saline. Great core of mid-palate fruit/flesh, whittled down slowly by acid/tannin synergy. Needs a few more years to give it up/express in the mouth. RFG.
