Great value classic Rioja. At 8 years old this wine is a deep ruby in the glass with a hint of dried dark fruit on the nose. The palate delivers developing, yet rustic dark fruit, vanilla, leather with a whiff of light smoke and wood. Decanted for one hour, it was nicely balanced and complex enough to keep for another 5-7 years or more.

New world style. Says its #Tempranillo but it seems way more like a Garnacha or a Monastrell blind. It also says it’s only 13.5% alcohol but that seems impossible it definitely warms the chest. The winemaking is superb. The wine is extremely smooth and polished. #riojaalavesa — a year ago
