Perhaps others didn't let it decant enough or they got a bad bottle. But for $14 a bottle (what I paid on Wine.com the first time), I thought this was a very good wine. I am partial to the Rioja region but I have had worse wines that cost more from there. I bought some more of this one.

Vibrant cherry colored. Bright red cherries and strawberries on the nose, rose hips, some spice rub. A vibrant and juicy red-fruit-driven wine (cranberries, strawberries, cherries), but the wine also has some minerality and freshness. Notes of clay soil, dried leaves and chestnut add complexity. A fun and food-friendly wine that’s vibrant and easy to drink. Half Garnacha, half Tempranillo, this is a young wine aged only for six months in barrel.

This is a lovely fruit forward Rioja with nice dry finish. Touch of herbs and went down well with a char grilled pork chop

Robe de couleur rubis fonce. Nez sur le tabac, la prune et le bois. Papilles sur la prune et le cacao ... Finale moyenne ...
