Not as flashy/rich as the 2015. More elegant. Old school. Restraint. Balance. Dark fruit. Oak is definitely there, but it’s in the background already showing good integration.Closeout for $22 at K$L right now. Back up the truck.

Ripe dark fruits and cherries up front. Smooth dry old-world on the finish. Good complexity. Lovely food wine. Pair with dry rubbed bbq’d pork chop.

Our trip to Rioja region in Spain. Bought father and son wines. This is the father. So perfect, oaky and silky and nothing like buying direct from the vineyard!

Color is great. Nose is nice and oaky with something sweet. Flavor is oaky, as the French oak really comes through. Great flavor. Higher prices wine, but worth it.
