Clean, delineated nose with cinnamon and cedar. Excellent poise and texture on the mid-palette. Finishes sweet with polish and pedigree.

In the nose dried cherries, dust, earth, leather, forestfloor, some vanilla and also very floral.
In the mouth medium bodied, a little thin, licourice, leather and cherries, spice and vibrant acidity.
Not a very long finish.
Ok wine for another 10-15 years, but not a big wine compared to the Reserva ‘10.

Overly fruit-forward initial taste that fades into a sour raisin finish

Missing only that essential element for yummiest Rioja....time! Very good now, whenever the tannins soften up will be great. At least 7-8 yrs.
