Creta Roble 2009 (Spain: Ribera del Duero)

Name	Creta Roble 2009
Varietal	Tempranillo
Region	Spain: Ribera del Duero
Notes	"The 2009 Creta Roble is 100% Tempranillo sourced from a 40-year -old vineyard and aged for 4-5 months in seasoned French and American oak. A glass-coating opaque purple color, it offers up a brooding bouquet of pencil shavings, espresso, Asian spices, incense, and assorted black fruits. Structured on the palate with layers of succulent fruit, this concentrated, lengthy effort admirably reflects the strength of the superb 2009 vintage. Drink this OUTSTANDING VALUE over the next 4-5 years." (Wine Advocate)
