Low acidity medium tannin with some tobacco and cherry. Very nice Tempranillo!- After 2 hours in the glass this wine really opened up and flavor and complexity exceeded expectations

Vanilla on the nose. Plum and fig through the finish.

Classic Rioja aromas of wet leather and funky ripeness. Mandarine orange peel and ripe pomegranate seed flavors dominate. Very drinkable but lacking sophistication with its slightly bitter and abrupt finish.

This wine has all the old world good funk. Slight medicinal, earth, anise, cigar, and vanilla spice. Rum spices and bitter dark chocolate flavors. Acidic mouthfeel and smooth tannins.

Toimi ihan on karitsan kanssa, mutta ehkä ei ihan hinta-laatu suhde balanssissa
