Dark, intense, glossy. A very grapey nose with dark cherry, some fresh vigor and hints of mocha. Still young and dense on the palate with a balancing fresh streak of acidity.

The definition of modern Rioja done the right way. Plenty of fruit that is plenty fresh, savory with good acidity and perfectly ripe and firm tannin. 11 years young! This blends old school and new well! #contador #cueva #sanvicente
