Ebano (Tempranillo)

Name: Ebano
Variety: Tempranillo
Region: Ribera del Duero
Country: Spain
Year: 2007
Price: $7.95


Winery review: 87 points, Robert Parker:  The 2007 Ebano 6 is 100% Tempranillo aged 4 months in French oak.  Dark ruby red in color, it displays a pleasant bouquet of cedar, spice box, violets, black cherry, and blackberry.  Medium- to full-bodied on the palate with savory flavors and plenty of spice, this racy, vibrant Tempranillo has enough structure to drink well over the next 5-6 years and is a very good value.


My review:  Could only detect a creamy scent -- nothing else stood out.  Very tannic and dry.  Also tasted oaky and had berry elements to it.



I tasted this on its own without food.
