Friday, January 6, 2012 - nose: big punch of leather, tar, cherries
flavor: ripe cherries, leather, dark fruits, good acidity.
this wine has taken on some additional complexity. if you like your rioja with no character or age, this is not for you. this is great for an old world wine drinker who likes a barolo/barbaresco with some age on it. drink now or hold for a few more years.
