2005 Convento de Oreja Roble Ribera del Duero
($12) Inky violet. Ripe cherry, blackberry and plum aromas are deepened by tobacco and roasted coffee. Full, fleshy and ripe, showing powerful dark fruit liqueur flavors, low acidity and soft tannins. Really clings on the finish. Serve this big boy with hearty red meat dishes. Good value here.
