Cherries and leather on the nose, medium body, lovely violet-red color. Notes of cherry, vanilla/oak, leather. Good value at $15-ish.

Dark, woody, fruity. I aerated it like I do with all Tempranillos. Not bad to just drink on.

Really good value Rioja. Enticing aromas. Black fruits with a good balance of tobacco and leather.

Better second day. Medium-full. Black fruit and good taming/structure/length. Great value at $13 buy again. Open and drink second day.

Dark ruby red with a nose of bright dark fruit, mostly blackberry or black cherry, some spice. The pallet has a subtle tartness of cherry with nice ripe tannins and finish of bkackberry. Good fruit. Easy spice. Great wine
