Hoisin, soy, tahini, black cherry, blueberry, ash. Funky, complex wine with loads going on in the glass. Crazy finish of berry compote and oven toasted spice. Love it.

Beautiful Rioja, silky tannin for young vines.

Improved since last time I drank this - much more ripe - even a baked dark fruit character… some earth driven elements but fairly straight forward with lovely balance & poise. Cohesive, nice acidity and smooth finish. Built for the intermediate haul as entry level Rioja.

This as an entry level is OK - remains in the traditional Rioja style w/delicate red fruit spice & some juicy acidity, but this was a bit too thin & lacking density of flavor. Again, low price point & fairly enjoyable but had higher hopes.

Not a bad Rioja, but there are lots of others in a similar price range that I like better.
