One of my favourite 'cheap' wines. This vintage is starting to show tertiary notes. A tinge of brown in the colour. Cherry on tbe palate but with a hint of dried fruits. Won't hold for too much longer.

It's so fine, strong and very dark aromas. These are smoke, blackberry, plum, prune, black tea, chocolate and some oak influences. The palate has structured high tannins, with medium acidity and a full body. And it also has a long finish, brilliant for the price actually

All Rioja Alavesa. All american oak and still traditional. Nice sweet cherry fruit on the palate. Shows typicity and is tasty.

Chocolate, cocoa, vanilla, and some black cherry. Had this with beef tacos which worked a treat.
