Received as a gift. This wine is "too much" on all fronts. Too thick and too spicy (with a very heavy impact of oak ageing, a lot of vanilla, incense). I must say it is difficult to pair it with food, given the overwhelming (and not so pleasant, in my view) impact it has.
The wine looks inky colored. The legs are slow. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like toast, oak, vanilla, sandalwood, cinnamon and blackberry. The body is full. The wine finishes long. The wine has medium acidity.

Last bottle of Rio Sordo 2021 for me. Happy it was the last one. Cork was perfectly sealing the wine. Color is now trending towards old nuances. Earthy notes in the nose, very well balanced tannins. My view: probably already passed its top.
