La Rioja, Spain
Deep Ruby with dark berry fruit and sweet spicy aromas. On the palate blackberry and plum flavors with vanilla, cacao and herb spice character. Gritty fine tannins, medium+ ending with a fruit spice structure. Nice value.

See previous note, some time has really improved this wine - represents outstanding QPR. Again, very international style Rioja - super generous & delicious

May 28th, 2021Not quite as stunning as the 2010 I had recently, but still represents an incredible QPR - this is a very forward / intl style Rioja, reminds me of a wine made by Valsacro - very generous & actually presents like a Bordeaux. Gobs of dark fruit, cacao, lead pencil, sweet spice, vanilla, etc. This lacked some suave character but maybe just needs more time.
