Terrible. Nothing there. Lacked all fruit and any length at all. 65€? No way. Sent it back

Atypical for a Rioja. Starts with tang and settles in with a smooth finish.

Need plenty of air to open up. Roses, pastilles, dark cherries, gravel. Feels like a well made wine but the quality of the fruit is not really obvious. Lacks some of the varietal qualities I’m expecting from a grenache. The finish is slightly fiery and one could wish for more balance.

Picked this up at the winery in 2016. Opened it to celebrate my wife’s birthday.

Without a doubt the smoothest, mellowest Rioja I’ve ever had. Eases into a strawberry finish.
