April 19, 2024 - PnP. Classic Rioja style with vibrant fruit and sweet American oak. Will add additional notes on day 2.
Day 2: continuing to show vibrant fruit, with lovely oak notes and velvety tannins. There's a good structure to this wine. I'm enjoying the spice and balsamic notes, and medium plus finish. It will continue to drink well for many years, and may improve some. -

March 30, 2024 - Red or slightly garnet core extending to a garnet/brick rim. Moderate color density. Slow legs.
Powerful aroma intensity where oak contribution is very substantial. Red fruits (cherry) that are baked, with vanilla, cacao, nutmeg, and molasses some of the dominant aromas I found.
This wine is medium+ to full bodied, a little less of an ‘elegant’ Rioja and more of a powerhouse with high alcohol (14%) but well balanced acidity and medium round tannins. Moderate+ flavor intensity with bruised red fruit (predominantly cherry), red licorice, vanilla, leather, and dill the dominant flavors. Long finish.
A wonderful wine to drink with food or by itself-I really enjoyed drinking this wine.1 person found this helpful Comments (1) -

March 27, 2024 - Deep violet to dark purple in the glass. On the nose crimson red cherries, tobacco spice, and plum. On the palate, it is a bit bold, but the flavor is delicious. Higher in VA than other vintages. the tannins are well-rounded and short. The finish is medium to long but quite complex. Notes of ripe plum, oak, tobacco, and tart cherry.
