Sweet oak light cherry and savory herbals on the nose. Quite pretty. Palate is silky and elegant but not as much complexity as i was hoping for

Bold nose of vanilla, suede, and rose, with a bold palate of silky tannins, this is a great rioja. The palate is bold notes of leather, ripe red fruits, a subtle acidity, and a smoky finish.

I like it! Doesn't not my socks off but it is bright, a very little fruit, and true to its grape.

Nice leather and smell of Rioja on nose. Hints of fruit. Balanced & smooth, but not full and round. Overall good wine.
