As a grocery-store Bordeaux, this was adequate. Of course, I intended to buy a Rioja, so there’s that. It’s unfortunately quite modern, so any relationship to Rioja is by virtue of the label only. It’s not a sicky fruit bomb like CUNE, mind you, but I would bet my lungs it’s not seen the first barrel of proper American oak in its lifetime. Nor do I taste any indigenous yeasts either. Pass.
