Leather, cherries, baking spice, slightly grippy tannins and medium strong pepper. On the nose , jammy but still bright raspberries stewed with balsamic.

Still very tight. Decant a couple hours at least. Not much in the form of character you'd expect from Tempranillo. Just ok for $30. 2008.

Lots of depth, good tannin & pepper abound. Ageing noted.

Very nice Rioja. The perfect balance of red fruit, acidity, oak and tannin. Bright but mature. Nice clovey spices and stewed cherries:
