Escondido Tempranillo 2021

Vanilla and some flattering mocha notes on top of the blackberries and dark plums. A medium-bodied Ribera del Duero with fine spices and fleshy fruit spreading across the palate. Some coconut and blackberries in the long finish. Well crafted. Drink now [through 2026+]. (jamessuckling.com,Sept. 9, 2022)
