Legaris Peñaranda de Duero 2017

Starting in 2015, Legaris has made three of these so-called village wines each year, looking to express the different terroirs of Ribera del Duero. This comes from a trio of small parcels in one of the highest parts of Burgos, close to the border with Soria. The most delicate and refined of the bottlings in 2017, it's an old wood-aged delight with notes of wild herbs, tobacco leaf and red fruits embellished by savoury tannins and refreshing acidity. 2022-29

A rich nose of candied cherries, plums, iodine, walnuts and allspice. It’s full-bodied with firm tannins. Rich and velvety with chewy character and a spicy, firm finish. 100% tinto fino. Drink or hold.
