Ripe cherries, blackberries, black pepper, leather, cream and oak on the nose and palette. A well rounded Rioja with a silky smooth texture to boot. The finish, although long, detracts a bit from the nose and the palette. Tannins are gentle and acidity is there to keep you going. There is enough concentration and personality here without needing you to explore too hard. This goes perfectly well with grilled meats. This Rioja hasn't fully matured yet. Would give this another 5 years or so to fully mature.

Typical Gran Reserva. Easy drinking. Goes well with steak and cheese. Lovely bouquet. Lighter than some Rioja. Smooth and easy drinking.

Blackcurrant, vanilla with a lasting taste. Dry and tanic.

Agree with average note. Nose really nice and have us thinking it would be so great.
Taste not so bad but lacked finesse in my opinion.
