Waited too long on this as the fruit has faded and the acid is dominant. Medium purple with a bit of garnet. Nice fruit forward nose of cherry and raspberry with cedar and tobacco. Palate is faded fruit and tobacco. No decanting and drink up.

Dark red. Cherry and cherry syrup and a little campfire smoke on the nose. Medium plus body with good concentration of cherry flavour. Rather harsh tannin, and a medium length finish. This sturdy wine will age a few more years.

No formal tasting note, this is a borderline expression from the Rioja region, lacking any distinctive character that would make it a better drinking experience. The nose is the only reason I gave it the score that I did.

Meh. Thin, nothing much. Not offensive, but nothing there really
Okay, easy drinker, boring

Non-distinctive wine. Tried on 3 different occasions in the past year, and not greatly impressed by the nose, palate, or depth.
