Pesquera, Ribera del Duero, 2005

Murky purple/red.

Broad/thick nose - coconut/black fruit custard, earth and suave oak spices.

Really covers the mouth, initially, then strong acidity and moderate tannin dive in. Pretty constricted in the mid-palate, presently, but flavors eventually wiggle out. Definitely needs a few years to strut. Opened yesterday.

$25
