Community Tasting Note

Tannatastic Likes this wine:

Wednesday, May 9, 2018 - At peak.

Garnet core with plenty of bricking heading out towards the rim.

Strawberries, blackcurrant, cigar box, cedar, touch of dill (and a mere hint of vanilla sweetness) from the oak, with a tease of of spiciness on the finish. Less prominent aromas of cigar ash (or perhaps extinguished cigar?) and cocoa nibs.

Wonderfully mid-weight and elegant. When Rioja is done this well, for value it beats all-comers hands down with one hand tied behind it's back .

Simply stunning at the moment, and comfortably good for at least another decade (or more, depending on your preference).
