Light ruby color with a slight orange rim. Intense funky aromas of earth and barnyard. Pallet is completely different with hints of bright red fruits and licorice. Incredibly complex. Noticeable pleasant oak note on the very long finish.(I later was told that this Rioja was aged in French Oak, which explains a lot.) Well structured and nicely balanced. Soft tannins. Revisited in September 2025. Color is noting some brown highlights but the wine is still quite alive. So easy to drink!
