Friday, March 8, 2013 - APPEARANCE: clear; medium ruby; medium legs & tears
NOSE: clean; medium intensity; flavors: dark fruits (blackberry, black cherry), red cherry, sweet spices (notable vanilla), forest floor
PALATE:dry, high acidity; medium body; medium+ alcohol; medium tannin; medium+ finish (alcohol); medium flavor intensity; flavors: as per nose, but a bit vegetal. Slightly vegetal.
READINESS FOR DRINKING: Can drink now but has potential for further aging
FURTHER REMARKS: an good robust Rioja, but a bit austere and bitter at the moment, but should improve.

Shows better 2nd day, not bitter anymore, higher tannin perception. Score 89.
