Dark ruby to rim. Nose of chocolate, cigar box, tar, smoke and powerfully aromatic after some time after it had been decanted. The palate is plum fruit with integrated but still pronounced tannins- long. Complex flavours, lovely wine but not classic Rioja.

Dark to the rim. Nose initially dead, dusty and musty, opens a bit to savoury notes. Mouth watering acidity with red cherry, spice and pepper. This was tasted at a blind Rioja tasting and was the winning wine. Excellent.
