Bodegas Ercavio 2011 Tempranillo Roble, Vino de la Tierra
Rating: 90
(aged for eight months in French and American oak): Brilliant ruby. Fragrant aromas of blueberry, blackberry, mocha and smoky Indian spices. Very good clarity and lift to the flavors of dark berries, vanilla and candied flowers. The clinging finish repeats the smoke and floral notes. Outstanding value here.
