Open up 30 min prior to imbibing to help with excess alcohol nose. Overall great medium body with more pronounced fruit on mid palate. Smoky notes begin to evolve on the long finish. Pairs nicely with fresh olive tapenade Oma crusty baguette .

Slight fruit flavors on the nose. Cherry and earthy flavors. The spice is under developed and lingers softly. Unfortunately it is masked by the elevated tannins. The wine overall is light and dry. For a reserva Rioja the wine is missing many of the necessary characteristics that are expected, even the oak is hidden....disappointing.

Little hot on the tongue. But would go with a good steak
