"Very good, supple rioja. Deep purple, almost black, in color. Plenty of dark fruits such as plum and blackberry jam. A little hot on the back of the tongue. Tannins still evident but not overpowering. Great smooth mouth feel and nice long finish. I'm giving it a 92 based on how I think it's going to perform over the next several years versus where it is today. It's very good today but should be great in 3-5 years."
