Community Tasting Note

andrewfowler Likes this wine:

Monday, February 19, 2024 - Classic Tempranillo on the nose, with cherry, fig, prune, sundried tomato, baking spice, cedar, and a pronounced oak influence. The palate is quite vibrant, with bright red cherry leading the way. That being said, tertiary aromas are already making themselves known, with an unmistakable black truffle note. There’s a slight sharpness to the acidity, and a long and lingering finish with tannins that have softened a bit but with just a little grip. Everything I want in a Rioja. Also, a decant stripped away some of those bright fruits and left more black fruit and cassis character, along with a slight metallic tinge, so to my taste at least, start drinking as soon as you pop that cork.
