Slightly hazy garnet in the glass. Abundant, bosomy nose of black cherry and cigar box. Full-bodied, juicy palate of black cherry, cured tobacco, and balsamic all supported by sturdy medium-plus tannins and medium acidity. Wow! This is what Rioja should be all of the time! Holding up incredibly well 17 years on and seems to still have maybe another five years (at least) left. Steak and game seem like naturals, but don’t miss out on pairing with Southwestern cuisine.
