Pagos de Matanegra Finca Valentina Ribera del Duero DO Spain 2012

The Valentina presents itself in a deep ruby red colour, followed by a clean and bright nose displaying liquorice-scented blackberries, raspberries and some complex notes of roasted plum. The entry is smooth, elegant and balanced wine. Elegant on the palate, with soft tannins and the spine of acidity running through the wine. Towards the finale with a mineral twist along with chocolate, vanilla and fruit cake scents contributed by the French oak.
