Pleasing Rioja that can be drank with/without food. It's medium-bodied with a similar aroma and palate profile. In the mouth, it has a nice body weight, balanced acidity, silkiness and polish, controlled fruit profile along with fully integrated and very light tannins from the barrels.
I don't know why CT has an end date of 2016 as that's wildly short and this will easily last to 2023-2025. It's an excellent QPR and I'd easily buy again as it's a great wine with or without food and would be perfect for a party!

- Medium forming legs. It's balanced with a medium/full body. Polished texture with a medium finish.

limited nose, earthy, goes better with food than alone.
