Bright red cherry fruit that leaves a long rich finish on the palate. Balanced tannins, full body but not overwhelming. Very pleasant, elegant offering to drink by itself without a protein or cheese. One of the better Rioja’s I have tasted over the past few years.

Dark rich fruit, balanced acidity and low tannins. Nicely structured with the right amount of alcohol, acidity and fruit. Second day enjoyed a mellow and easy drinking experience. Will decant my 2nd bottle at a later drink window.
