Searching for some inspiration... and I think I found some. Blackberry, dry earth, brick, and exotic spice, all dressed with balsamic. The oak treatment is palpable without being obtrusive, adding warmth, depth, and length. An excellent Rioja, particularly for New World fans.

Modern Rioja. Was surprised to find that this was %80 French Oak and only %20 American. The coconut and vanilla really come through on the nose followed rich black cherries. Medium bodied with drying tannins on the finish.

Has that classic woodsy rioja finish, with good acidity. Nicely nuanced. Yummy!
