Pago de Sangara, Roble, Ribera del Duero, Spain 2020

Power and price: it's a generalisation, but that's what first comes to mind when you think of Ribera del Duero's reds. So this lightly oaked roble is a real bargain. Made by Tinto Figuero, it has an enticing violet and sweet strawberry perfume that runs throughout the intense but medium-bodied palate, powdery talc-like tannins, crisp acidity and a lingering spiced red cherry finish. Super!
