Some Spanish funk mixed in with nice tannins. In great shape for being 5 years old.

However, the bitter undertones dominate, taking away from the peppery balance I was hoping for. The sour bitterness did not improve after the wine breathed. UPDATE: This wine tasted much better the next day, after having more time to breathe.

Aromas of rich earthy cherries, and cedar. Tastes of dried black fruits with a hint of spice. A bit thin on body but has good balance and a long dry earthy & tannic finish. Paired with popcorn and House of Cards! Great value as well. ($7) 😊

Well balanced with some of those classic Rioja flavors of dried cherry, roasted tomato, and hint of cigar box on the finish. An effortless and quite excellent pairing with chicken enchiladas! [4/16/23] ($8)

1 person found it helpfulAug 23rd, 2020This is a simple Rioja red. Showing red and black fruits with earth, wet leaves, herbs, peppercorn, pencil lead, dark coffee and spices.
Full bodied and spicy with medium finish.
Earthy on the palate and dry.
Good right out of the bottle and gets earthier as it opens up. Tannins show up after an hour of airtime.
A good food wine for the weekday. I paired it with cheeses and light appetizers.

Nice paring with a pancetta spiced pork chop. See my earlier rating for tasting notes very nice for the price.
