Valduero crianza 2003 D.O. Ribera del Duero

Tasting date - 13/11/08
Dark red/chestnut. Obvious legs.
Good bouquet of leather, spice with red fruits in the background.
Exactly the same on the palate with a really good finish. Just a little too warm on the finish to be ideal.
Still intact and drinking really well now.
