Popped and poured; consumed over two days. Really delightful throughout but the most expressive on Day 2. The wine pours a deep ruby color with medium viscosity and no signs of sediment. On the nose, medium intensity with bright, fresh black and red cherries, potpourri, blood orange and spices. On the palate, confirm the fresh cherries, raspberries, fresh dill, dry earth, minerals, and spices. Medium body. Medium tannin. Medium+ acid. The finish lasts for well over a minute and its immensely satisfying. Great on its own and fabulous with food too. A contender for value of the year at sub-$14 USD.

Remarkable Rioja at an affordable price! Let it decant for an hour and you will be rewarded with a dark fruit forward, balanced oak and the right touch of smokiness....to compliment our seared Tuna filets. Rioja, so hot right now.

Молочные ириски, ваниль, венские вафли, черные ягоды, мягенько. Консервированные грибы. Элегантное, красиво,хоть и не так сложно, как хочется.

Rose merry tarragon smell, like lamb wine, something Mediterranean, raspberry acid, some sorrel in taste that comes in with acidic, tannin combo - maybe lamb at end

Intense. A strong nose. Notes of a leather, a tobacco, united with a plum jam. Nicely done.
