This is pretty great and I couldn't be more surprised. Fatter in youth, the other 2 bottles I had seemed like Parker wines. But at this point, the overt sweetness has mostly faded, the oak is gone, and the acidity is persistent. Whether it tastes like Rioja is another matter.

Bright and fruity wine with great integrated oak. Intense nose of vanilla, some spice, caramel, Balsamico and strawberry confiture. Enjoy, guys!

#allende #riojaalta #briones #tempranillo youthful deep violet medium intensity aromas of blackberries and tobacco will age well, bright acidity. Can age easily a decade. Miguel Angel creates great and timeless wines.
