Opaque red color with brick/rust hues. Berry/cherry aromas with secondary notes showing some signs of aging, namely tobacco/dust. Palate has initial flavors of red fruit albeit modest / not “in your face”, with good balance and medium body, tannins, and finish. Not a ‘wow’ wine and a bit short of other riojas I’ve had recently but enjoyable/‘correct’ and a solid value.
