Aromas of cedar and earth, a touch of oxidation that blows off. Flavors of plum and dark berries.

Let it decant for a short while. No oxidized notes others talked about. Isn't as fresh and lively as my favorite Riojas. But very drinkable. Enough tannin to carry it through the palate

Shows it is Rioja but also lacks freshness of fruit and acidity.

Solid Rioja. Great integration, soft tannin, and touch of American oak. Had a contained scorched earth appeal. Very nice representation.
