Rioja "Limoso." Pure Tempranillo from limestone terroir. Plush and delicious.

Limited edition of 1,090 bottles! @ €107 & unusual 14.5% ABV for Rioja! It’s a good bottle but not worthy of its hefty price tag 😁 Will age much longer which may reward!

🍷 Opaque dark ruby/cherry

πŸ‘ƒ Explosion of red cherry, strawberry jam, light blackberry, wet earth, thick balsamic w/ discrete smoke & violets

πŸ‘„ Med body of ripe creamy red cherry (almost jammy) w/ dark berry tones, milk & dark cocoa & light balsamic

🎯 Med+ red cherry & berry fruity touch dry cocoa & balsamic rounded finale

Very light... Soft... Medium fruit taste. Almost dangerous as it's almost a juice!

Really enjoyed this. Just the right amount of fruit and sweetness. Great alone or with meals.
