Celeste Roble 2012 – Bodegas Torres
Celeste, "as unique as the night sky in the Ribera del
Duero".
Just because it is Wednesday it doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy a
great wine. I went to the butchers to buy some Iberian hams and chorizo and
couldn’t resist buying this young wine to go along my tapas night. If I have to
choose a D.O. (Denominación de Origen) from Spain, it would definitely be
Ribera del Duero, there’s something about these wines that just stands out from
the rest.

Tasting note: Celeste Roble 2012 – Bodegas Torres
Intense aroma. One can perceive the scent of chocolate and espresso
as well as red fruits and pepper in this medium bodied dark cherry coloured
wine. Lovely to the taste, pleasant and unctuous, with smooth tannins it
invites to keep drinking it. This wine needs some oxygenation to appreciate
the spicy notes and complex structure. The wine has a pleasant and long aftertaste.
