This is the kind of wine that is making folks flock to Spain. It is so nicely drinkable with New World sensibility...
Pruno is mainly tempranillo and so proud, exemplary of Ribera del Duero honesty and quite literally a treat to taste....
Here's a solid tempranillo (aka "tinto fino") with a splash of cabernet sauvignon, perfumed with oak and ripe red and...
A notably generous expression of tempranillo, revealing and upbeat, packed with fruit but just shy of full-bodied....

Approximately 90% Tempranillo and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon. Black plum and cedar oak aromas from the cork. In the glass, this has a medium+ intensity nose with smoky black licorice, black cherry, oak spice, and cassis with hints of earth and black plum aromas. It's medium-bodied on the palate with grippy, muscular tannins and fresh acids lifting the black cherry, blackberry, currant, and oak flavours. Drying mid-palate. Long finish with earthy and smoky elements, and just a touch of chocolate bitterness. Solid wine that needs 3+ years of cellar time. Tasted Aug/2018.
