Bought on auction recently (€12). The cork crumbled. Medium garnet colour, some fine sediment. Red fruit, dried cherry, dill, tobacco, spices, cinnamon, clove, and light balsamic notes, with good acidity, fully resolved tannin, and good length. Average concentration and complexity. Good value; a very affordable introduction to mature Rioja. Drink now. (88)

This really is good. Certainly oaky, but beautifully integrated; a lovely, light, perfumed, cherry-ish drink.
