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.

Really good value Rioja. Fantastic Aromas of tar, leather, wet rocks and dark cherries. Dried dark cherry, plum, tobacco and earthy flavors with a touch of vanilla. A long finish with chewy tannins. Give it some time to open up.
