"Aromas of beeswax candle, vanilla pod and chocolate
strawberries with a supple dryish medium-full body and a long,
tangy, and meaty nut, straw and herb bread accented finish. A
delicious and structured Ribera that will work well with lamb"

"Vivid
ruby. Complex, expressive aromas of cherry, bitter chocolate,
Indian spices, mocha and sexy oak. Lively and penetrating,
with very good clarity and verve to its bitter cherry and dark
berry flavors. Finishes spicy and long, with firm, fine-grained
tannins adding shape and grip. I suspect that this wine will
age slowly, on its balance."

"Ebano’s 2006 Crianza is 100% Tempranillo aged for 13
months in French oak. Wood smoke, violets, spice box, and
blackberry aromas compose the nose of this structured, savory,
slightly tight red. Another 2-3 years of cellaring may fill it
out and cause my rating to appear stingy."

"The
garnet-colored 2005 Crianza was aged for 13 months in French
oak. It offers up a primary nose of cedar, mineral, leather,
and blackberry. On the palate the wine is firm, medium-bodied
and flavorful with notes of smoky blueberry and licorice
making an appearance. This finish is medium-long and pure.
Give this solid effort another 1-2 years of bottle age and
drink it from 2011 to 2020."

"Ruby-red.
Seductively perfumed, sexy bouquet of red and dark berries,
cherry and baking spices. Smoky minerals gain strength with
air and carry onto the palate, adding structure to the deep,
sweet raspberry and cassis flavors. A candied rose note
lingers on the finish, which also features subtle vanilla and
cola qualities. Pretty open-knit today, but has the
concentration to warrant a few more years in the cellar."

"Ruby-red.
Spiced plum, kirsch, cassis and graphite on the nose, with
subtle clove and cinnamon accents. Crisp, focused and pure,
with lively red and dark berry flavors complemented by deeper
notes of licorice and mocha. This is impressively balanced,
with very good concentration and thrust on the finish, along
with a lingering mineral tone."

"Dark ruby opaque color with a concentrated, ripe
nose of vanilla and red and black currant. Attacks softly with
nice black cherry and wood spice flavors Somewhat light on the
mid-palate but finishes with ripe, soft tannins."
