Médium body some fruit flavor — 8 months ago
Great value! Can’t get enough of this 2017 vintage in Ribera and Rioja when is well made. A fresh, rainy year. Expressive nose of blackcurrant, cherries, a hint of well handled oak, good length. Not too complex (sort of entry level to the winery, which encourages you to the higher level) but once again great value — 5 years ago

This 4 year old Rosé from Arlanza, Spain feels very young and fresh. Nicely balanced and elegant. A very unique and interesting wine.
Showing nice complexity with a nice mouthfeel. Would be nice to revisit it in 3 years and see how it evolves.
