Community Tasting Note

Saturday, September 18, 2021 - Drank as a ‘Rioja tasting’ accompanied by a 2009 Erudito and a 2011 CVNE imperial Reserve.

Drank both without food and with Spanish meatballs in a paprika-tomato sauce.

This is in a brilliant place right now. Beautiful cherry notes with balsamic and mint on the nose giving way to a soft and plush palate complete with hints of anise and soaked black leather. While not particularly racy, this delivered with a round mouthfeel and mild acidity that enabled an extremely pleasant balance of red fruit and spice to tempt the palate.

This was a unanimous wine of the night and is in a great place right now. It has the guts to continue several years without hesitation however it will not disappoint should your patience falter.
