This was certainly a Rioja and whilst it was attractive and pleasurable to drink it was clearly Riserva rather than Gran Riserva as it lacked a bit of depth and power. Red fruit dominated - drank well with pork ribs and hoisin. Still got life in it yet for a few more years.

Nose is faint overall and has cherry, tobacco, vanilla, caramel, oak. Standard Rioja smell and
Mouthfeel is very pleasant velvety med acidic juice. All of the previously described triats can be found + leather. Taste is not exquisitely long but still very decent.
This is kind of you know what you get and you can rely on it rioja. Drink now.

A savoury entry revealed subtle black cherry fruit set in a smooth silky texture. This delivered both tannins and freshness and the initial dryness was ameliorated by sweet fruit. Well balanced and pleasing. CHP 89 pts

Just a bit over, lacking some fruit.
