NOSE: minerals and bitter chocolate. Old books. Dried fruit - orange peel. Some of the typical Rioja spices (clove etc).

TASTE: tastes just as it smells, plus more earth and vegetables. A little austere (thin?) - but it’s good Rioja. 90.

Soft, nice fruit. Maybe a small mistake in the finish but pretty delicious. I'd get this again.

Very nice....smooth with an easy finish. We had a 2009 vintage.
