Bright ruby red and medium intensity color. Lighter than I would expect from a Ribera Del Duero and a strong hint of carbonic masceration. Needs to breath for an hour to get rid of the bananas. After that, strawberry, cherry and blueberry with some vanilla and baking spices (cinnamon and cloves). Medium plus acidity and tannins. Medium finish.
