Light.

A bit acidic.

It’s trying to be complex… but falls short.

So much better available for Spanish wines at this price point.

Pine tree, smoke, leather, acid. Past prime I think. But it shouldn’t be. Still good.

Old world flavor. Good but I’ve had better Tempranillo.

Round, polished and layered with dried fruit, ripe cherry and a whiff of tobacco and smoke. On the palate silky & smooth with fine grained, dusty tannins and juicy acidity. This is quite restrained and very elegant vs your average Rioja. A very fine wine.

Спелые красные ягоды, немного ванили, специй, розовых лепестков. Среднее тело, мягкие танины, хороший баланс
