Tuesday, May 5, 2015 - Appearance: Bright and clear, it has medium ruby color, with fading rims and legs.
Nose: Clean, with medium intensity aromas of red fruit such as raspberry and redcurrant, some black fruit of blackberry, dried fruit of prune, pungent spice of licorice, sweet spice of cloves, kernel notes of toasted hazelnut, oak notes of toast, animal notes of leather, maturity notes of savory. The wine is developing.
Palate: Dry with medium (-) acidity, the wine has medium (-) tannin of ripe and silky texture, medium (+) alcohol and medium (+) body, with medium intensity flavors of red fruit such as redcurrant and raspberry, black fruit of bilberry and plum, oak notes of vanilla, sweet spice of cloves. The wine has a medium finish.
Conclusion: Very good quality Spain Rioja with nice intensity on the nose, showing a highly complex aromas which is surprising and simply showing layer and layer of different characters, the wine has good balance and showing the typicity of the region, obviously on the best representation. If only the length could be longer it would truly be a memorable wine. Ready to drink now, the wine is not for further ageing.
