Sipping Fine Wine

9.6

Blend of 75% Tempranillo, 15% Garnacho, 10% Graciano and Manzuelo, deep Ruby with an elegant bouquet of berry fruits, cigar box, spice with fresh earthy tones, a traditional Rioja, still a bit reserved. On the palate, the wine was silky smooth, elegant with layers of flavors, berry and cherry, tobacco, smoky cedar, dark fruit, vanilla spice, very well balanced with fine soft tannins and a clean structure ending with a nice long earthy finish showing tertiary character. Delicious! Still has room to age.
