Additional Information
| Appearance | The red wine Protos Gran Reserva is medium ruby with a brick red rim. |
|---|---|
| Nose | Classy and nicely balanced, this varietal Tinta del País suggests some delicate notes of cassis, blackberries and cranberries, with some flecks of toast, liquorice and cocoa over an earthy and mineral background. |
| Palate | Elegance, intensity and depth define this wine from Bodegas Protos. A note of menthol and pine needles nuances some lively flavours of black fruit and spices. The wine has a seamless texture and a velvety body, with some ripe, suave tannins, and a well-balanced acidity. Long finish with remembrances of blackcurrants and cocoa. |
| Our personal opinion | The excellent wine Protos Gran Reserva 2016 encapsulates Ribera del Duero's classicism. Pair with substantial dishes and cured cheeses. |
