    Castillo de Urtau 2001 Crianza (Ribera del Duero)

    Initial aromas of tree bark, root beer and leather give way to stronger, obvious oak notes. Very snappy on the palate; in fact, it's downright sharp and acidic in the midpalate. Has its positives but is too racy and shrill in the middle. Imported by Haro Imports.
