Shop's Review: Ripe cherry and black currant on the nose and in the mouth. Pliant and seamless in texture, with good heft and back-end energy. Finishes smooth and sweet, with fine-grained tannins providing shape and grip. Still on the young side but this wine drinks very well with an hour or so of decanting; it's an excellent value for Rioja.
My Review: This wine had a strong nose with scents of cherries and ripe plums. It was a dry wine with very little tannins. My palate detected hints of chocolate covered cherries. It had a slight bitter finish.
I did not drink this wine with food.
