Bodegas Olarra
Reserva Olarra Classico Rioja Tempranillo
La Rioja, Spain
Drank 7/27/23
Scents of earth, cherry, wood. Sour red cherry, black cherry, and soil flavors. Firm, but well integrated tannins and black fruit flavors dominate the long finish. It's a bit rustic, but I dig it. Fans of fruit bombs probably won't enjoy this.
3/21/7/4/4 + 50 = 89 pts.

Medium ruby color with a slight brick rim. Aromas of cherry, cola, and leathery oak. Red berry fruit fills the palate along with hints of tobacco, balsamic vinegar and spices. Very savory and herbal finish. Chewy tannins. Powerful, quite well balanced and easy to drink. Consistently good producer. Thanks for sharing, Keith S.

It's not bad but at least one bottle had a bad cork. Broke cork screw trying to open it
