  Suspect it was an off bottle, but this was dead. Very little on the nose, a bit of dried fruit and earth but barely anything to be had. On the palate it tasted like... generic nondescript wine, pretty much just acid and tannin.
  
  The cork looked physically sound. No overt musty/basement TCA smells but suspect that may be the culprit nonetheless.

  Medium ruby. Aromas of cherry, plums, vanilla, tobacco. Wine is dry, full bodied, medium+ acidity, grainy tannins, long aftertaste. Taste of blackberries, cherry, chocolate. Solid Rioja. Very good for price.

  92 Un vino estupendo. Completo, carnoso, con buena acidez, con mucha fruta. Muy bebible ya y le queda una vida aún.

  Solid Rioja for 10 Euros, but nothing special, not a re-buy.

  Significantly weaker than Aalto some days ago, but nevertheless a solid, well made Rioja. Best on day 1, slightly deteriorating during the next days.
