Very fruity, pairs well with Indian food. A touch of sweetness helps spicy food go down. Some tannins in the finish lend interest to the wine. A slight afterburn lingers on the tongue.

Cherry nose, rich full bodied. Dry, notes of blackthorn first then sweet. Oaky. No bitter aftertaste. Buy again.

Good hearty Rioja. No bitter after taste, nice and smooth. Note the most subtle blende of flavours but great choice.

2012, improves with being allowed to breath. Great with Stilton cheese.
