2020 -Vintage - would be too young for most Rioja but not necessarily in this case lighter character fruit driven no bigTempranillo character here lighter body ok for $6.99 at G.O. But a pass for me although JS gave it 91 points

Oct 9th, 2022Trying a new vintage. Hard to match that previous one. Deep black currant color. Smells of Indian curry, berry and cherry fruit, and wood cuts. Flavors are lovely. Currants and chocolate. Slightest of licorice. Incense and cedar planks too. This is the essence of affordable Temp from Rioja. Very drinkable, pleasing and balanced. Could maybe linger a bit more and have less intense tannins, but I could drink this any night and be happy.
