I'm between very good and outstanding because while it's aging incredibly well, it's just not my style of wine, it doesn't make me go "mmmmm". Medium+ acidity, medium alcohol, medium+ body and medium+ intensity flavors of cranberries, ripe stewed cherries, leather, paprika and smoked meats. #riojaelegance #riojapassion #riojapower #riojalover #riojawine #chirel #tempranilloblend #tempranillo

So enjoyable! You get a lot of red fruit from the rioja but some tannins and smokiness from the Cab Sav blended in. @ABaC in Barcelona with grilled Guinea fowl.
