One magnum and one bottle, consistent notes. The Alberdi. Soft and mellow with good acidity and soft tannins coupled with some bright red fruit. Just right. ***

Work Wine Tasting - Pairs (Home): Proper trad styled Rioja with good plummy fruit, a touch of vanilla, some gentle spice and some comforting interest. This is the Alberdi. Good. ***

Quite bright, red fruited, slightly smokey, mellow nose. Good red fruit, good acidity, still some crunch to the frit but a nicely traditional Rioja frame. Decent quality for the money. ***

nose - vanilla, cedar lots of vanilla
taste - oddly dilute, lots of oak. A nice wine but don't like this style of Rioja - too much French oak.
