One of the better Rioja’s. Doesn’t pair well with lobster. @Anthony De Blasi

This wine is drinking extremely well. Possibly the best Spanish wine I have had, especially at the price point (~$40). It’s balanced: some fruit but not too sweet; some flint or smoke but not too tannic. Really enjoyable.
