Nose: Some fruit like prunes and cherries and some cocoa. Mouth: Consistent with the nose. Some sweet tabacco leaves, too. Actually quite good. Of course ths is a mass production wine but I am impressed what they bring to the table. Ok, you feel a bit the oak and it feels a bit "made" but they did a very good job. A bit too alcoholic. It shows no signs of ageing but it won't improved anymore. Drink now or in the next 3 years. 14.5 % alc. and hardly noticeable.

Tasted at Total Wine Rioja class; this is a nice, pleasant wine that seems flexible to be paired with a number of dishes. Deep cherry color; cherry & leather nose; juicy red fruit on the palate, a little tight with tannins; a little tannic on the finish.

Still fresh and vibrant! Tabacco leaf, sour red berries, plums, good amount of acidity and tannins.
