Decant for at least an hour. Soft cherry, tobacco and some nice herb notes. Definitely more of an old-world style, and an ideal accompaniment with tapas. Excellent value for $18 at K&L. Drinking perfectly now.

have to agree mmurry's notes. This is pleasant enough but I was expecting a couple more layers at age 10 and for $25. This would make a very nice $12 Rioja. $25 too much.

Last tasted in June 2011. Much better now. Decanted 2 hours. Tannins have "chilled". Nicely drinkable on a weeknight

Great vanilla and light smokiness. No strong dill smell/taste, making it a relatively subtle but quite pleasant, drinkable Rioja.
