Not as bold a Tempranillo as I am used to but still good. Finish is not one that lasts.

Lots of dark fruit notes, slight vanilla at the backend. Smooth mouthfeel, light, and crisp.

Possibly the best Rioja I've had - so smooth and drinkable. It's so good on its own, I wouldn't want to pair it with food.
