A kind of old style Rioja, not big and modern. Aged a little so a hint of raisiny. Quite good for a good price.

Pop and pour through an aerator.
NOSE: earth yeasty floral barnyard funk … quite European. Cherry. Red fruit. Makes me want a dish with mushrooms…but different than the Rioja I have tried.
TASTE: stone, earth, barnyard, dry cherry. I am content, but this is enough outside the style I associate w/Rioja that I suspect something else is at work (brett?) so won’t score.
