Medium+ intensity ruby, with purple rays Medium aromatic, fruity and flowery, with black cherries, blackberries, black plum and roses. Notes of vanilla, cedar and smoke, and some tobacco. Medium intensity flawors of black fruit, cedar, vanilla, smoke and tobacco. Medium/medium- body, medium acidity, tannin and alcohol, dry wine. Fruity and floral, but lacks structure. Good easy to drink wine, but drink now. Better with light food, where does not need to compete. A little pricey for the average quality in my modest opinion. At least, I paid too much ($28) for it.

A beautiful mature medium intensity garnet color aged "simple" tempranillo (bottled to drink).
Clean and moderate intensity in the nose, with a nice range or aromas, including black fruits (plum, berries) and black pepper, and some dried fruit as well. Scents of smooth vanilla and smoke, leather and tobacco.
Dry, with medium(-) acidity and tanins (gone with 10 years in bottle under good conditions). Medium alcohol, with a medium(+) body and flavor intensity. A creamy mousse feeling and medium(+) finish. The aromas amplify themselves on the palate. Black fruits, black pepper, vanilla, leather and tobacco.
This Rioja has grown into a very well balanced aged wine, which should be drank right away. Lucky not to have opened this bottle in 2010. These guys don't know to make bad wine.
Score: 93 points
