Pretty on the nose and amber at the edges. Orange peel, dark cherry, roses. All quite subtle. A little short and tart on the finish

The first bottle we received of this vintage was corked and the second bottle didn't seem much better. It was funky and reduced and never shined. #rioja #tempranillo

Calificación profesional 9,0
Se ha decantado y en un principio está demasiado fuerte, aunque sin sabor a vinagre

Savoury, leather, cedar, petrol, cherry. Red bright fruit on the palate, remaining tannins and acid nicely balanced. Very good bottle. #bodegasriojanas
