Showing slight signs if age at the rim the wine is still dark garnet at the core. Aromas of leather and earth and red fruit and chocolate, quite enticing and rich. Has a short finish and is a bit acidic and not much tannic structure. A bit underwhelming. Perhaps better tomorrow.

I'm glad this was cheap AF, bc it's pretty disappointing. Lightly aromatic of cherries and leather. Medium-bodied with mostly mushrooms. Will be relegated (and in this case, ELEVATED) to cooking wine where I'm sure it will make a fine beef Bourgignon. 85
Scratch that, Tatiana loves it, so it's all hers!
New bottle, Jan 31: I’d go 86-87 this time, and Tatiana says 93.

Bright red fruit with medium tannins to balance out the finish. Raspberries, cranberries and herbs dominate the palate. Great value Rioja.

Over a couple of days
Light body, considerable acidity for a GR, a myriad of different fruit and mineral elements, could do with another few years to integrate fully
Solid value
