Bodegas Sierra Cantabria
Amancio Rioja Tempranillo Blend
La Rioja, Spain
Tried this over a year ago after I got a taste, so I bought one for the cellar. Dark red with big berry flavors and complex spice. On the palate rich ripe cherry and blackberry flavors with sweet spice, well balanced with acidity. Tannins are approachable but the wine is still very young, lingering finish ending with oak notes. Still needs time but if you have a reason to drink something great, open a bottle. A bit pricey but worth it for special times.

Apr 17th, 2018Was lucky enough to get a taste of this wine, really liked it and bought one for the cellar. Very dark red with full rich berry flavors and complex spice. On the palate ripe cherry and blackberry flavors with savory spice on a well balanced frame. Tannins are approachable but the wine is still very young. The finish is long ending with oak notes. I should wait but had a reason to drink something great. A bit pricey but worth it for special times.

Opened yesterday and found it harsh with loads of tar overwhelming anything else.
Today it sings! And it sings and keeps on singing!
Dark red fruit, some vanilla tones, cigarbox, good acidity to back it all up.
Great wine.

Best Spanish wine for me. All characters are well mixed as one. Well match with fruits as well as meat.
