Great Rioja, black cherry, subtle tannins, silky and elegant with good acidity to complement. I don’t quite get the 95 points, but this wine is delicious. And still very drinkable the next day.

"Jozy Altidore... you know he's gonna score... WE GO WILD WILD WILD. WE GO WILD WILD WILD!!!!" If this wine was a soccer player, it would be Jozy Altidore: Tall, dark, handsome, robust, and a born winner. If only he were Spanish too.... also... TFC is up 1-0 right now against Seattle thanks to Jozy. Those bastards.

Started out a bit closed but filled out nicely after a couple of hours.

Naked Wines. Easy drinking. Not masses of body. Good nose. Dry and spice to it. Red fruits. Decent but at £15 a bottle there is better value out there.

Earthy, green aroma and notes with slight spice and sourness. Medium finish with a slight kick in spice.

Tasted on two separate occasions with lamb (night #1), beef (night #2).

On night #2, you could taste more the spice than on night#1.

Good wine but may try another from the same region
