A nose of some funk and spice, dark garnet in color. A medium to full bodied Rioja blend, with black cherry, vanilla and some spice on a bit disjointed finish. www.winelx.com

This is a tasty Rioja. I like the berry fruit notes [blueberry for me] and there is a nice oaky vanilla spice scent as well as on the palette. I picked up some nice earthy hints in the nose too. My experience with Rioja is minimal but I do like this one.

A bit thick on the oaky-vanilla toast, nice enough red/blue fruits with acid to pair with a t-bone steak. Tannins present lending a slightly bitter note on finish. Good not great, liked it a bit better day 2.

cellar time seems to have resolved the disjointedness. Strong dark fruit, tons of depth and complexity. Good drinking for at least another five years

Quite similar to the first one, reasonable QPR but not exceptionally memorable.

lots going on in terms of complexity, but still disjointed.

PnP. Overwhelming oak with some black fruits. After a few hours a nice and balanced wine.

Dark fruit and oak believe it will improve with a little more time in the bottle

Medium to full bodied with notes of dark red cherry and wood. Good medium length finish. Good with food.
