  The tannins are already resolved but the bright cherry fruit and the crisp acidity keep this wine feeling young. Very charming wine.
  
  Nice cherry, Raspberry flavor in the mouth. The mouth feel is so smooth with a hint of oak. Excellent QPR.
  
  I will buy again.

  This is an elegant, medium bodied Rioja with many years of life ahead of it.no it's just hint of the sausage abour it, but in a restrained, well-educated way. The tannins are already resolved but the bright cherry fruit and the crisp acidity keep this wine feeling young. The subtlety of the flavors impresses on the aftertaste, which lasts a long time. This is not a wrong for those who want this is not a wine for those who,want a huge explosion of upfront fruit. It's charms are delicate and subtle, and will only increase in coming years.

  Perfect wine for turkey. Not overly heavy but nice fruit and balance.

  Pineapple And Pearls (Pineapple And Pearls): Very nice. Overly simple for a lightly aged rioja, but a fantastic everyday drinker. Could use some more time in the bottle to develop. Drank from a 5L magnum (yup, 5L).
