Purchased in a small wine store in Haro in Rioja. Good colour for the age, blood red but not too much bricking. Soft, classic nose- plum, slight herbal tone, hint of undergrowth but not unappealing. Well balanced and fully mature. Delicious mid aged Rioja.

Brackish blackberry fruit on the nose, with just a little earthiness to keep things interesting. Medium-bodied and surprisingly slick at first on the palate, but the tannins do show up toward the back end. There's a definite "grapeyness" throughout, along with a bit of leather, raspberry, and some oaky nuances in the mouth. Not a whole lot of depth, but the flavor profile is a pleasant one.

Lovely nose, true nature Rioja, undergrowth, leather and truffle. A little short mid palate but still enjoyable if not entirely memorable.
