Fruit forward: fig, raisin, prune, and jammy red cherries. No oak. Leather and tar mid palate and on the finish. Bright acidity with velvety tannins.

An unusual un-oaked Rioja, Tempranillo and Garnacha blend. Deep Ruby with aromas of red fruits and citrus notes. On the palate flavors of cherry and raspberry with citrus and bright mineral. Medium finish ending with fruit. Drink now no aging benefit, not a fan!

There is licorice, a little bit of funk, blackberries and a tiny tad of bacon. Nice nose. The palate is made of a full acid drive, a good width with a soft mouthfeel, that blackberry note with a note, a gentle tannic note, and a very long finish with blackberries. That's rather good!

Did not like it. Don't like tempranillo but keep trying. I was like water at the end.

Not as bold as a more typical Rioja. Black cherry flavours.
