I really like this wine. Second bottle I've had. Opens with leather and tobacco with a hint of mint. Red fruit and tangerine? On the middle, Then a decent finish. Well balanced, good acidity and very lively and fresh. Very nice food wine. Drank this with chicken liver pasta. Saving half the bottle for tomorrow...

Classic, old school rioja. Light to medium bodied. Red fruited. Old world flavors of dust, mustiness, mushroom, and leather. The acid is there, and I sense the absence of much oak, but perhaps only because I'm thinking of reserva when I drink this. A bargain for 13 bucks.

Slow to open up. Dusty secondary spice character, with fresh red fruit and great acidity. Slightly herbal, well balanced. Nice long finish. Very good wine for the value, wish I had more bottles.

For the money, this wine excels. Classic Rioja flavors ---- red fruit mixed with oak. The wine is also quite versatile and would pair well with a number of dishes.
