Winery Review: Ripe cherry and blackcurrant on the nose and in the mouth. Pliant and seamless in texture, with good heft and back-end energy. Finishes smooth and sweet, with fine-grained tannins providing shape and grip. Still on the young side but this wine drinks very well with an hour or so of decanting; it's an excellent value for Rioja.
My Review: The color of this wine was very dark, so I knew it would taste complex and strong. The nose was very strong, hitting me with smells of berries and cherries. The initial taste was strong and the finish was strong. It was quite a dry wine!
I did not have it with any food.
