Community Tasting Note

Barolo Drunkard Likes this wine:

Thursday, January 21, 2016 - This wine is really like a blueberry pie, with a nob of quality cream, and some christmas spices turned into liquid (and I mean this in a good way).
Warm nose of oak, cream, aniseed, cumin, ripe dark berries; really like a freshly backed blueberry pie.
Sweetish and silky smooth on the palate. Full bodied. Surprisingly fresh and pure fruit, not too jammy at all, I´m quite impressed. Good acidic backbone and medium tannins. Boysenberries, blueberries, even some strawberries. In the finish the oak and vanilla custard kick`s in a bit more. Quite long, a bit ashy and maybe even earthy aftertaste. Delish. Not too oaky or jammy.
Always a reliable go-to Rioja, and a great value.
90-92
