Conde de Torgar Tempranillo 750 ML

Its this formula that inspired former Vega Sicilia winemaker Xavier Auss to claim Ribera del Duero as the best region in the world for red wines. This region is a 10, said Auss several years ago during my previous visit to Ribera del Duero (RDD), which lies in the heart of the autonomous community of Castilla y Len. If someone is making a wine here that rates a 5, that person is delinquent.Charred oak and slightly overripe aromas make for a bullish nose. On the palate, this delivers a jolt of acidity along with oversize tannins, while ripe plum and cassis flavors.
