Medium ruby. Pretty complex nose. Ripe strawberry, raspberry, dried red cherry, cedar box, tobacco leaves, graphite, liquorice, nutmeg and sweet spices. Medium+ bodied, medium+ acidity, nice palate attack with lots of dried red fruits even jam and sweet spices. Sweet finish which I'm not a fan of this kind. Overall good value Rioja (14.99), much better with foods. 13.5% alc. 2011 vintage

Love it on the nose. Let it breathe a little. It’s a little sweet at first, but breathing really helped. HLSR 2019 Wine Garden.

Nice and fruity on the nose, very distinctively tempranillo. This wine really needs decanting - a lot of air - it took 2 hours+ to come into form. It has a pretty watery mouth feel on the palate, which is downside, and it doesn't pack much punch in the mid-palate. The flavor is subtle & wonderful on the other end though, really satisfying finish with some spice.

A 2001 bottle. A smooth finish, but not a flavorful end. Could been the bottle, Cork shows leakage of wine.
