The wine was medium ruby in colour. It offered red fruits, lots of cherry, some dried plum, coffee and dark chocolate on the nose and on the palate, paired with some heat from the alcohol, high acidity and well integrated medium plus tannin. I particularly liked the dominating cherry/dark chocolate component. The fruit-driven wine was still fresh, even improved with moderate aeration, and is just starting to dry out. Drink up.

The wine aged very nice. Still hints of red fruits, a bit vanilla and coffee. The finish is very long, smooth and creates this warm feeling.

Mature but very tasty, rather light on it's feet with good delicacy and elegance. A nice rioja at a good point of it's evolution, but time to drink.
