Usually really enjoy this wine. Maybe it is too young but it is permeated with new wood which makes it too oaky without the necessary richness to offset the oak. Good cherry fruit but it is overwhelmed by the wood.

Day 3 and it’s even better. The wood and oak are in perfect harmony and the finish is very long.

Another excellent rioja. It Was very similar to the ‘09 vina ardanza I had a few weeks ago. Wood and fruit is well integrated with a nice finish.
