  A little bit herbal aromas at the start then goes onto typical leathery, earthy, chocolatey sandstoney blackberries+raspberries+figs. Its medium bodied satiny nice elongated well oaked refreshing zingy black, blue and red fruits mid palate and ends mediumish and a bit unknit. Drink now or drink in next 2-4 years. This is characterful. 13.5%.

  Not decanted - which in retrospect was likely a mistake . . . as consumed, the nose is somewhat closed, with nondescript red fruit in mouth. However nice earth notes, medium body. Good acidity, moderate tannins at this point.

  Bouquet beautiful classic Rioja with cedar, tobacco, leather and dark berries, little vanilla and oak.
  Palate very smooth and balanced but a bit boring, acidity maybe too much in the background.
  Finish medium to short.
  Need decanter for 2 hours.
  Summary all good, safe choice, for higher points lacking of own character.
