A stellar vintage from Rioja, and ready to drink. Chewy yet balanced. Smoke and incense on those nose. Generous notes of mocha and stewed plum on the palate. May be drank on its own or paired with charcuterie, chops, an braised dishes.

New style Rioja. Was fine but nothing memorable.

Lots of oak influence, but dense and loaded...

Tasted in 2015: Modern-styled Tempranillo bursting with raspberry, blackberry, and balsamic notes that envelope a bouquet of umami, baking spices, blueberry cobbler, and leather. Gorgeous flavors of berry pies and lavender honey on the palatte with trails of cedar.

Garnacha with fighting power. Brick color and chewy density, Tempranillo flickers through while mazuela and graciano hang out on the sidelines. Bodega vino.

Very spicy! Bit of cherry and plum, a little bit of coffee, maybe cinnamon too? Delicious Spanish red.

I loved this wine--it may have been my favorite wine that I tried in 2013. It was rich and earthy.
