Dominio Basconcillos Vina Magna Reserva 2020, Ribera del Duero, Spain

Deep, concentrated nose with dark berries, pepper spices, violets and chalk on the nose. The profound fruit is rather intact and detached from the classy oak spices, showing a pinch of licorice. Full-bodied, flavorful and very fine-grained on the palate with masses of powdery tannins and a lengthy finish that lasts almost a minute. Drinkable now, but better after another two years.
