Drank this delightful Rioja over two days and it fleshed out dramatically, ending up downright succulent. Dark ruby color; cherries, leather, a touch of smoke, spices (including pepper, sage, vanilla) on the nose. Amazingly complex for a $18 bottle of wine! Yummy palate with bright juicy cherries (red and black), plum, pepper, freshness, very decent weight and lively tannins, something steely on the finish, paired perfectly with grilled andouille sausages.

Medium ruby color. Offering cherry, leather, tobacco, cured meat and cinnamon. This Rioja reserve is balanced and seductive. Medium-bodied, silky texture, fine-grained tannins. Lively on the palate with red fruit, tobacco, cinnamon and streaks of vanilla.

Great. Cherry, but less sour cherry than most other Riojas at the same price point. Smooth and a bit of chocolate.

eher etwas wässrig und massenkompatibel, nicht so dolle
