This young Rioja is surprisingly very approachable.
Dark purple in color with a purple rim.
Full bodied, smooth and elegant, with medium acidity.
Dry and fruit forward with nice complexity.
Showing black currants, plums, tobacco, licorice, light oak, spices, chocolates, coffee and peppercorn.
Medium minus on the finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.
Would be nice to revisit it in 3 years.
Tangy and good by itself or with food.
14% alcohol by volume.

Great wine combining southern burgundy richness, use of luxurious oak, great acidity and low alc levels. Wonder how this ages.. Tx @Jan A for pointing this one out!. — 2 months ago

Bright cherry nose
A well crafted wine, this has a medium to bigger body, sea salted cherry, oregano, pomegranate seed, orange zest, berry stem.
The tannins are gripping yet subdued by the wines character, and persimmon acidity.
An excellent and contemplative tipple.

Clear, medium ruby in color; on the nose, it's clean with pronounced primary and secondary aromas of dried figs, black cherries, and cedar; on the palate, it's dry with high acidity, high tannins, high alcohol, full body, and pronounced primary and secondary flavors of roasted tomatoes, strawberry sauce, black pepper, and wet gravel with a long finish. This wine is balanced and complex. Overall, I rate this wine as outstanding. It definitely benefited from being in the fridge overnight. — 5 days ago
