Textbook oaky Rioja. Coconut, dill and vanilla, liquorice, ripe cherry, plum and leather. Prominent ripe tannin and cleansing acid. For 29 aud it’s a bargain.

A bit rough for the price, but eminently drinkable

Had a ‘13 in the cellar, aged very well for an inexpensive wine. Deep Ruby with dark edges. Aromas of berry fruit, complex spice, a touch earthy. On the palate, ripe Cherry and blackberry fruits with sweet and peppery spice. Nice approachable tannins that opened up quickly. Good balance and good length. Very Nice.

Powerhouse of aromas, berry, sweet spice and some citrus on the nose. Palate shows dark berry fruits, cacao, some smoky pepper with a savory character. Fine tannins, nice balance and good length ending with slight mineral, oak and earthy tones. Great value, short term aging potential. Consistent quality. Good value.

This is Rioja, it's not flashy it's what I think of though when I think of Rioja and it's well made, free of faults.
