A tad oxidative on the nose. Plums, dark berries, pipe tobacco, smoke, exotic spice, vanilla. Frame filled out nicely by grainy tannins.

2012 vintage. Brilliant color, aromas of matured cherries. Balanced, with some hints of balsamic acidity. Long finish and chewy.
Tastes again on March 2020, very smooth with Temparnilo aromas of wet leather.

Concentrated and powerful wine from the drought vintage of 2012 in Rioja. Torre de Ona is a project of La Rioja Alta using fruit from the northern part of the region. Notes of wild dark berries, cocoa, smoke, and anise dominate the nose. Palette exhibits strong acidity and ripe tannins with flavors evolving as the wine breathes. Really well made - drinking well now, but tannins will smooth out more with 5 years of cellaring. 2012 vintage on Oct 20, 2018

Classic style Rioja. Gets the full potential being open or decanted for a couple of hours. Medium body no or almost no fruit in smell. Black berries, tar, leather taste but still not that heavy or full bodied.
