Finca Villacreces Pruno Ribera del Duero 2014

Dark cherry color. Nose of black berries, savory herbs, spices, it’s fresh and almost feels finesse coming from the glass. Explosive palate, mouth coating with pretty flavors of black berries, then spices and a hint of vanilla. Well made even if in a seductive style, but still this will hold many years. Very good (89)

Dark color with slightly orange rim. Evolution of the wine is more detectable on the nose with of dry fruits and leaves, old wood and tobacco. Flavors of plums and date are added to the aromas I had. In decline, can’t deny it, but did well at the table. Good (87)
