Community Tasting Note

BillBell73 Likes this wine:

Thursday, January 21, 2021 - Crumbly, fragile cork so use caution when opening- my other bottles have had the same issue. Still rather vibrant in color with no bricking. The nose is a little muted with cherries and a suggestion of cardamom and cinnamon. On the palate, this is showing the early signs of maturity and the fruit tones have mellowed...lots of dried cherry and fig, a tiny bit of dill pickle remaining from the oak treatment, and that sort of savory spicy leathery note that tempranillo gets with age. I love where this is but can’t wait to try it in a few years when the tertiary earthy flavors really kick in. Excellent rioja!
