Not sure if it's a little last it's prime or needs another 10yr. 😬. Prune. Old American oak. Game.

Pretty and elegant Riserva at a bargain price- I’ll never say “no” to that.

Sour cherry funky green peppercorn that reminds me of a good Rhône. The years in oak and bottle have had a great mellowing effect.

Lovely Rioja. Deep ruby, nice nose and pared well with a variety of foods.2011 in 2020. A touch of spice on the palate with chocolate flavor. Will drink this wine, anytime

Full body. Cherry, clove, leather, a hint of licorice. Not my preference

Smooth, soft highly drinkable wine. Low in complexity and structure still an intriguing wine to drink. Gentle, fruity and very low in tannin on the entry. Medium length finish with nice fruit flavors. Very nice wine for the price. I imagine would be a crowd pleaser to many.

Doesn’t drink like a Reserve, some light oak and tannins present but a great value for the price

Ripe cherry and earthy/oaky robustness. Heavier than we normally get but smoothed out nicely as it breathed.
