83 Points

Saturday, October 2, 2021 - My Grade: G+. New World style which lacks traditional Rioja characteristics This improved on 2nd day (vacuvin) and this note is from that tasting.

Opaque deep purple, lighter purple rim. Alcohol on the nose with raspberry, plum, dill pickle, On tasting the alcohol is prevalent: seems much hotter than the 14.5% on the label. Entry is quite plush and fruit-forward with raspberry, low tannins, decent acidity, fell a bit flat on the mid-palate, short finish. I definitely preferred the Lan Crianza over this
