Let this big boy open up a bit and have an aged steak handy for maximum enjoyment. Dense dark wild berries, licorice, mint and pepper in that order.

Fruit forward with classic Rioja flavor, but without being a fruit bomb, nice crisp tannins on the finish. Let it decant for -45 minutes to open up, before that the alcohol and tannins take it over.

A nice half bottle at Alcazar Tapas loaded with fruit and enough structure to stand up to patatas bravas.
