The 2017 Bela Ribera del Duero begins with a very pleasing aroma of blackberry, black raspberry, black cherry, plum, cola, leather, licorice, spice and more. Taking a sip reveals lovely dark fruit with beautifully integrated spice. This is a really delicious, savory, medium-bodied wine that is great for drinking right now, especially once it has a little time to breathe. It ends with a wonderful, long, spicy finish of dark fruit.
