In het glas helder intens robijnrood. De neus zuiver met kers, braam, pruim, eikenhout, vanille. In de mond medium zuren en tanninen. Gemiddelde body en mondgevoel. Vooral het primaire fruit. De afdronk is gemiddeld, niet heel complex. De wijn is prima in balans. Gewoon ok. Correct.

Retail $15. 100% Tempranillo. As a general rule, I do not drink enough Spanish wine--it seems as though they have less aggressive marketing efforts than certainly the Italians and possibly the French (which is more than surprising given the world view of the French). I get a few Riojas now and then, however, which are almost always a treat. Case in point: brilliant, nearly translucent crimson in the glass with dark red fruit (black cherry, raspberry), red rose, and a hint of black pepper. The palate is refreshingly delightful: modest fruit balanced with zingy acidity and a kiss of tannin. Lovely. thedrunkencyclist.com
