PnP and aerated into the glass. Wouldn't have guessed this was a rioja if tasting blind. Cherry, clean acid, smooth tannins, bit of zing at the end. Except for the zing it tasted like full bodied california pinot. Quite enjoyable, very drinkable. For an inexpensive wine it aged very well. On the other hand if I had opened wanting a prototypical rioja, I'd be disappointed.

I held onto this bottle for about two years and it took a really long time to air. Make sure to air it
