Score: ✧✧✧✧✭ |
The wine shows a deep ruby red color and nuances of ruby red, little
transparency. The nose denotes intense, clean, pleasing, elegant and
refined aromas which start with aromas of black cherry, plum and blueberry
followed by good aromas of raspberry, licorice and violet as well as
pleasing aromas of cocoa, eucalyptus, vanilla and toasted wood. In the
mouth has good correspondence to the nose, a tannic attack however
balanced, intense flavors, full body. The finish is persistent with good
flavors of plum, black cherry and blueberry. A well made wine. Ribeca ages
for 9 months in barrique.
