Sipping Fine Wine

9.3

Deep Ruby, aromas of sweet red and black fruits with pepper spice and oak. 4 grape blend from some of CVNE's best vineyards in the Rioja Alta (85% Tempranillo, rest Garnacha, Mazuelo & Graciano), aged in both French and American oak for 24 months. On the palate flavors of blackberry and currants with licorice, vanilla, tobacco & toasty oak tones. Soft full ripe tannins, wonderful balance, lively acidity on a long finish ending with an earthy mineral character. Very nice! — 7 days ago

Strong acidity, firm, like an underripe peach and/or mango, depending on the sip. — 2 months ago

Delicate aromas of peach and apricot and Alpine flowers. Soft on the palate with balanced unripe peach tartness and a little honeysuckle sweetness. Danke, Deutschland! — 5 months ago
