Nose of tobacco, cedar, cigar-box, dry straw and hints of strawberry. Pleasant light, dancing acidity, restrained fruit, and oak on the finish. Unexciting, but elegant and balanced enough for satisfaction.

Fruit forward wine with strong cherry and cassis on the nose and the palate. Oak is evident but plays a supporting role. Very well balanced with a lingering finish. In the prime of life.

An excellent value medium bodied rioja. Lots of jammy, berry flavour with a burnt aftertaste.
