Ribera del Duero
Quality
A 0–100 expert rating: 80–84 good, 85–89 very good, 90–94 excellent, 95–100 classic. Higher means a more highly regarded wine.
80/100Good
Right away this goes wrong; the nose is smothered with charred, burning oak that smells harsh and like chemicals. A tannic, resiny palate is barely acceptable, as are bitter, burnt, resiny blackberry flavors.
Flavor profile
An estimate of the wine's structure: body (how full it feels), acidity (tartness), sweetness, and tannin (the drying grip in reds).
