David Sampedro Gil makes very lightfooted modern Rioja that is exciting and accessible. Well rounded with tons of character.

Has enough sugar to keep the body going, nice rose and kind of rough lot of oak

Very good modern style Rioja. Furthest away from a tannic-vanilla-oak-bomb that you can get. Vegetable and herbal notes recede a bit into the background after a few hours. Red fruit then becomes more prominent, along with rose petals and other floral notes.

I liked the 2010 Vintage of this wine much better. It was jucier, more mineral and much more precise Overall. This is still a good wine, though.
