Dark red clear color; nose of red cherries, malbec-like ripe black currant, watery brook minerality, coffee, and a touch of toasted oak; smooth taste, small fine tannins, high acids and medium-high alcohol, fruity as heck, and a long strong finish. Producer in Alta Rioja, untrellised 45 year-old vines, 14 mo in french barriques, bottled non-fined and unfiltered. 20 USD, 14% alc, feels higher.

Delicious Rioja with lovely cream and vanilla flavors. Finishes with a citric acid finish. The nose is fragrant with flowers and citrus. Much better than I expected. Drink now: there’s no aging potential.

Aromatisk med nyanserad fatkaraktär. Gula äpplen, tropisk frukt, kryddor och gummi.
