Recommended by the somm tonight when the Rioja I chose wasn’t available. He brought out this Ribera and a couple of other Riojas and opened them all for me to taste, my kind of guy! For a Crianza, this is better than I expected. Sweet aromas of blackberries, balsamic vinegar, leather, dark chocolate and vanilla. Bold and concentrated in the mouth, smokey and rich. Generous tannins, medium plus acidity and alcohol. Sumptuous!
