La Rioja Alavesa, La Rioja, Spain
I seem to like this wine less and less every time I open a new bottle. It's not really opening up or evolving so it's kind of underdelivering.

Serious wine. Last vintage that will say rioja as they are leaving the d.o. This is the best value in their lineup. 2011 vintage.

Light tannins contribute to a velvety mouthfeel. Dark fruit up front (plum?) and char later, with some notable acidity.
