Surprisingly youthful with raspberry, cocoa, slight hints of leather. Bright red color and still has a few years ahead. Hardly any ox. Great traditional Rioja..love Cune

Notes after slow-O for 4 hours. Very dark ruby color, 90% saturated with no fading and a light dash of sediment. Profound cassis, tobacco, cocoa, and toast in the bouquet. Palate still has some strong tannins influencing the structure but a good bite of food helps smooth things out. Really pretty overall, and a great value for the money for such a tasty treat. Its best days are yet ahead. 5+12+16+8= 91

Medium-intensity ruby in color. The nose shows good aromatic intensity with aromas of fresh wild red fruits. A well-balanced wine that can still mature for several years in the bottle. The palate is soft and marked by silky tannins and a long, fruity, youthful finish.

Pleasant, but not impressive Rioja Reserva from CVNE. Deep, nearly opaque red color in the glass with aromas of dark cherries, leather and other red fruits. On the palate, a bit disappointing as the fruit flavors are very subdued and do not reveal themselves. Mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with slight dustiness.

Dark ruby color, with some age, good wine but not impressive, dark dry red fruit, some oak. Good for the price. Mild tanings. Medium finish.
