Acid and fruit. Lotsa wood. Good wine if you like chewing on barrel. I do.

Was looking for a clove aftertaste and the grape Rioja was recommended....not quite there but full of taste

First poor Rioja experience. I was starting to think that the Spanish region of Rioja was incapable of making bad wine. Well, nothing's perfect

Ripe berry and a hint of leather on the nose. Light mouthfeel with acid and alcohol in perfect balance. Short, earthy finish. A draaaaank with my broski. Viva la ...... Spain.

At La Gazzetta Italian restaurant for the second time. The first wine we tried here last time we didn’t like so we tried a different, more expensive one this time. Much better experience by spending a few more Euros…22.50€ on the wine list but the only charged us 18.50€ because we told them we didn’t like their 18.50€ wine. Nice gesture…one that will bring us back.
