I expected more from this wine, it’s nice is, but it was nothing special, good acidity but missing roundness and Rioja pedigree

2016 vintage. Gran Reserva. Not comparable to the spectacular, very old school wines of the past, but an excellent, more modern Rioja from this historical producer.

A brooding savory nose of dark fruit with sour cherry, a touch of wood. A serious and lovely palate. Iron, tangy fruit. Very good.

Sour red & black cherry nose. Red and lighter black fruits. Red and purple florals, soft leather, saw dust tannins, soft Mouthfeel and shows some elegance but a little light on finish.
