  Classic Rioja. Subtle nose, maybe dark cherry. One dimensional on the palate (in a good way). Mild tannins, medium body, somewhat thick mouthfeel. Great Rioja to share with friends in a social setting.

  Det här är kanske det mest välkända riojavinet av alla, och det lever upp till ryktet med mycket röd frukt, vanilj och tillräckligt med tanniner och syra för att inte bli jolmigt. Bra längd dessutom. Något generiskt, men mycket vin för pengarna, och ett vin som passar till såväl lättare kötträtter, kyckling, stekt fisk eller paella!

  Tasted blind in VV.
  
  Youthful and moderately translucent ruby red color. Somewhat unfocused nose that feels all over the place; some brambly raspberry tones, a little bit of wild strawberry, light sappy green tones and a hint of woody oak spice. The wine is dry, medium-bodied and slightly underwhelming on the palate with relatively mild flavors of brambly raspberries, some jammy red fruits, a little bit of ripe strawberry, light vanilla tones and a hint of new leather. Overall the wine feels a bit soft with its medium acidity and ripe, mellow tannins. The finish is soft, medium-long and quite light with dilute flavors of wild strawberries, some woody spice, a little bit of sappy greenness, light jammy tones and a hint of vanilla.
  
  Meh. A rather mediocre effort lacking in flavor and focus. Tastes like a Rioja that is diluted to half of its original intensity. Rather disappointing - I'd go straight to Reserva level instead of trying to save a few bucks with this kind of swill. Poor value at 11,59€.
