Big ripe vanilla oak laden nose. Very ripe forward style, brimming with sweet black fruit and creamy vanilla. I can see this being very popular but it's not a style of Rioja that I like.

I cant think of too many times that a Wine Society wine has disappointed me but this really has. Thin, tasteless and, even at £7 a bottle, really poor value for money. I will try it again tomorrow to see if some prolonged air adds anything to it, I can't say I'm too hopeful.
