Nice full body, subtle tannins and some subtle floral tones that are not overpowering

Clear, medium ruby in color; on the nose, it's clean with pronounced intensity primary and secondary aromas of dried fig, cigar box, and black cherry; on the palate, it's dry with high acidity, medium tannins, medium alcohol, medium body, and pronounced primary and secondary flavors of sour cherries, dried blueberries, cedar, and molasses with a long finish. This wine is lacking in fruit to balance its tannins, but it is intense and complex. Overall, I'd rate this wine as very good.

Very subtle nose. Also a light throughout palate is too. Very mild wine. Not experiencing the big finish I would have expected. Another table wine, if priced well.

I agree with the 9.1 - the age did some good with creating a more refined structure with the oak for a typical rioja
