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!

마셔보았던 Rioja 산 와인이 전혀 없었던 샵에서 그냥 눈에 들어오는 것으로 가져와 마셔본 와인. 생각외로 훌륭해서 놀랐다. 바닐라향이 깔끔한 미디움 바디.
