Could use some more time in the bottle, but great potential

Almost black in color (very dark purple) with nose of black fruit backed by some spice and smoke but also a touch of sweetness. Medium body in the mouth- black plum, blackberry that’s fairly smooth with a touch of sweetness ending dry with some acidity and mild tannins. Pretty good!

Light and fruity with red cherry aromas and a little funk on the nose, dances on the palate with tart cherry and very balanced acid and tannins. Wants some roasted meat! Oaked vs Unoaked Rioja tasting - the unoaked one. #spain #wanderlust2022

Blackberry and vanilla aromas; a smooth, slightly oaky body with blackberry fruit notes and lovely balancing tannins. A wonderful wine to sit with and sip. #openthatbottlenight

Disagree with almost everyone. This is a beautiful, nuanced Rioja. One of those wines that you are surprised that the bottle is finished so quickly because it is so drinkable.

Ambitious and youthful - big eyes.

Rich leather, cedar box. The old stuff. But fresher. With live vibrant purple fruit.
