Had to try another bottle as I thought previous bottle was mediocre. Deep Ruby with dark fruit aromas, herb and spicy pepper notes. On the palate blackberry and plum flavors with notes of black pepper, cacao and earthy spice. Savory ripe tannins on medium finish ending with fruit and earthy herb notes. Ok for price, but I’d pass after trying 2 bottles. Tasting Sample.

Picked up in the discount section of local liquor store. What a steal! Easy to drink. Balanced tannins, smooth finish.

All the good stuff in a Rioja. Vanilla, cola, oak, velvety tannins, mellow acids. Nice slightly chilled, not too full bodied.
