Chapel Down, Great Minds Drink Alike Crianza by Bardos

Curated by Chapel Down, this Ribera is made from low-yielding old vines. The wine spends 14 months in old French oak before bottling. Dark black and purple fruit aromas are joined by a touch of charred wood, while the full-bodied palate features some jammy black cherry and hedgerow fruit alongside a hint of white pepper and a touch of herbs and chocolate. The tannins are present, but this is smooth enough to enjoy on its own.
