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.

A tasty well made wine that is more modern styled than I prefer.
