Rivola 2005 Sardon de Duero Abadia Retuerta

Inky dark near-opaque purple/red.

Cedar smell, a pencil box inside a hope chest. Can't name anything else in there.

Tannins and oak predominate. There's dark stone fruit under there, but it's well-hidden. I fear splinters.

The next day no noticeable improvement.

$15.49 for Spanish red wine the way I remember it. I didn't use to like Spanish wine. I wouldn't buy it again. It'd be interesting to know if it'll improve with time, but not on my own dime.
