Community Tasting Note

Eudemis Likes this wine:

Monday, September 27, 2021 - 14% alcohol. G mostly and some Tempranillo. Vey good long dense cork. Medium colour with no sign of ageing.
The nose is rich with ripe dark berries, a bit of zing, and no obvious oak, mercifully. The mouth is similarly satisfying with excellent balance throughout; some sweet sensation at times, but it never outstays its welcome. Whatever oak is used, it is perfectly judged. Vg balancing acidity.
The closest French simile that I can think of is Terrasses du Larzac from a top producer, and I mean this as high praise; in Spanish terms, the wines of Bodega Marañones come to mind.
A super Rioja, and a far cry from the overoaked monstrosities of old.
A repeat purchase certainly.
