Legs like the McDonalds M. Long long nose of liquid liquorice. Very smooth and slightly dry. Savour it. At £9.50 a bottle it's a steal.

Earth, leather, and alcohol on the nose. Very dry with ripe raspberry. Peppery finish. Aromas fade fast.

Successfully skating the old world-new world divide. It has some oak, and polish that the new world drinkers look for, yet it's not dark, inky, or overly tannic. It's varietally correct in flavor profile, and will age for some time. Acid, tannin, fruit complement each other.

Nice easy quaffing red. Good blend. For the price point- under $15- you can’t go wrong.

Fresher modern style rioja. Red fruits, wood spice and a oaky touch.
