Smells of a bit of mint and fruit jam.
Saline, rhubarb, dried fig, cranberry fruit leather. Menthol bringing up the rear of this medium bodied Rioja, with anise tannins and mandarin acidity.

Dark purple. Slightly reductive, savory, plummy fruit. Just enough oak to add some complexity and structure. Disclaimer: I import this.

Mar 4th, 2014Rich even for Ribera, but also just slightly muddy. I think this might see lees stirring, which is unusual for red but has given this character to others reds I've tasted. .

Jan 2nd, 2014Deep purple/ruby. Aromas of plums, dark fruits, a hint of baking spice. Finely wrought, firmly tannic, though smoothly textured. Fresh acids. Great as a foil to cheese. Feels like it needs air to bloom.

Not sure I get the ratings. 13 bucks and was just as good day 2. One of the best QPR's I've had on a wine. Big dark strawberry, big wine. Reminds me of Clio which costs 5 times as much.
