Wow 👀 wasn't expecting this @ £39! If blind I'd be hard pushed to pick this as a Rioja as it's just so powerful @ 14.5% ABV 👊💥
92-94 probably in 3-5yrs 😎 but great to drink now 😉
🍷 Blackened ruby red
👃 Spiced blackcurrant, cherry, vanilla, oak & creamy cocoa w/ herby eucalyptus tones
👄 Med+ creamy smooth body of punchy ripe full flavoured slight sweet blackcurrant cocoa intensity
🎯 Long rich blackcurrant 💥🥊with 🍫😘
