  N: oak, cherry, black fruit, a typical Rioja with oaky aromas
  
  T: cherry, black cherry, tobacco, oak, vanilla, cloves. Not bad, not great. A good middle of the road Rioja.
  
  I had worried it might be passed it’s best after registering it on cellar tracker - but it’s still good. Maybe only a few more years though.

  Slowly developing aromas of black tea and fresh lavender florals. Raspberry, red-toned fruits and sweet plum on the palate. Light to medium-bodied, medium-low acid and light tannins. Flavors are coming together nicely; more harmonious than they were 12 months ago. Went well with Cuban food.

  Inviting nose, with floral notes. Sweet, ripe fruit on palate, leather, licorice. Lively acidity and barely noticeable tannins. This is a pleasant wine, good with food, on the simple side and probably not going to improve at this point.

  Woodsy, dried berry, vanilla and cocoa nose. Evolving, med-bodied palate; moderate acidity; long, sweet-spiced finish.
  3.5/5
