November 20, 2022 - Rich nose of baked black cherries with various garden herbs as well as plenty of wood and some baking spices. Tilled garden soil aromas as well. Quite full-bodied, this is rich and heady and loaded with tons of red and black fruits, black cherry and more garden herbs such as rosemary and sage. There are significant tannins here that show Rioja's Atlantic influence. Sometimes I love this wine, sometimes it's a bit too much. Those that prefer full-throttle wines will LOVE this! 92
