Condado de Haza Ribera del Duero Tinto 2007

Appearance: Intense ruby-red color.

Nose: Toasty, warm scents of plum, candied cherry and licorice, with a suggestion of roasted coffee aromas.

Palate: Plush, round and almost sweet in its display of ripe cherry and strawberry fruit. Finishes with silky tannins, a repeating note of strawberry and very good length.

Gastronomy and Service: With lamb and suckling pig roasts, lamb chops cooked over vine cuttings, semi-cured goat cheeses, and oven-roasted fowl. Decant it 30 minutes prior to serving.
