Tasting - Ebano Ribera del Duero Tempranillo

Name: Ebano Ribera del Duero
Variety: Tempranillo
Region: Ribera del Duero
Country: Spain
Year: 2007
Price: $7.95

Critic Review: 87 Points, Robert Parker
The 2007 Ebano 6 is 100% Tempranillo aged 4 months in French oak. Dark ruby red in color, it displays a pleasant bouquet of cedar, spice box, violets, black cherry, and blackberry. Medium- to fullbodied on the palate with savory flavors and plenty of spice, this racy, vibrant Tempranillo has enough structure to drink well over the next 5-6 years and is a very good value.

My Review:  This wine had the aroma of raspberries and cranberries.  It had strong spicy taste, with a hint of oak and was a little hot.  It had a strong tannic component as well.  I did not try this wine with food.
