  The wine is clear and bright with a medium ruby colour and presence of inky legs. The nose is clean and developing, showing medium+ intensity aromas of dark plums, ripe dark cherries, liquorice, clove and cedar. The wine is dry in the mouth with a medium acidity. It has medium slightly coarse tannins and a medium+ warm alcohol. It has a medium body and medium+ intensity flavours of dark plums, dark cherries, liquorice and clove. The finish is long.
  
  It is a very good quality wine with a nice fruit concentration and a lingering finish. It has a nice balance between fruit concentration and alcohol, however it lacks typicity, it's too modern in style to be representative of Rioja. Can drink now, but it has some tannic structure and fruit concentration to develop a bit more of complexity in the next 2-3 years.
