Tasting Notes: The 2017 BELA Ribera del Duero is a deep cherry red in color with purple hints at the rim. On the nose, aromatic complexity reveals floral notes and black fruits such as blackberries, blueberries, and plums. The fruit is complemented by elegant notes of sweet spices and gentle smokiness from time in the barrel. On the palate, this is a wine which shows great personality with smooth tannins, a fruit driven mid-palate and a mineral finish lending elegance and finesse.
