Medium to deep ruby in the glass; lots of dark red fruit (red currants, plums), with tobacco and carmelized meats / barbecue notes as well. Nicely balanced despite the solid oak notes and tannin on the palate. A little old school Rioja, but still an elegant wine, with a wonderful finish. Drinking well now. Decanted for an hour, served with carne asada tacos. Great pair.

Dark ruby-cranberry color in the glass. Pronounced aromas of fig,leather, dark cherries, tobacco and cranberries on the nose. On the palate, the wine has a complex medium weight mouthfeel that imparts the luscious fruit flavors of classic Tempranillo Rioja. Engaging texture with smooth finish. Not a wine to miss.

Well balanced and complex. Pronounced nose of smoke, vanilla, dried cranberry, dried fig, cherry, dill, tobacco, and a hint of sweetness.

Very jammy, didn’t care for; wait until 2035 or later to drink
