Tasting- Ebano Ribera del Duero


Name:  Ebano
Variety:  Tempranillo
Region:  Ribera del Duero
Country:  Spain
Year:  2007
Price:  $7.95
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 fullbodied 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:  This wine smelled of spices and oak with hints of some darker flavors.  It tasted like tobacco and spice and stuck to my tongue a bit.  Even thought it wasn’t your typically berry red, I still thought this wine was okay. 

I tried this wine without food.
