Lots of blackberry and vanilla, slightly sweet. Some dill edge from what I presume is American oak. After a few hours of air it started to shut down, with the fruit shouted down by tannin and acid. I think this might actually reward cellaring, even though it’s supposed to be an everyday Rioja. Very good value, especially at Last Bottle prices. Score: 90. Relative to expectations: +

Simple, with light notes of black raspberry and black currant commingling throughout. Vanilla notes emerge and accelerate through the finish as the oak flexes.

Medium bodied but with a sweet flowery bouquet that was really nice. Medium long on the palate, some cedar and dark fruit. Nice buy from Lastbottle.

Dark. Black berries and licorice. Tasty, a little boney and well priced
