Excellent surprise. Raspberry, blackberry, redcurrant, creamy notes on the nose. On the palate, classic Rioja style (blackcurrant, leather, plum, wooden notes), some mineral notes and a touch of sweetness in the end. Slightly tannic, big persistence, some smoothness that reminds of Burgundy wines and very easy to drink.
