A bit heavy-handed and modern in approach. Rich red fruit. Unincorporated oak. Dusty book pages. Earth and spice with a slight green edge. With all its flaws, still a great value at this price point.

Pleasant, classically styled. Medium body, noticeable wood not very complex. Good expression of red fruits.

At Maritime Wine Tasting Studio.
Color: lighter purple like violet and red
Nose: Dusty, blue cheese, old newspaper
Palate/finish: Dry, more tannins than the PS, grips the tongue, medium tannins. Tannins over power the body and finish. Unbalanced in that aspect.
Opinion: Something savory in the palate that isn't too appealing to me. Overall not bad, better and more of a wine than the first.

Light rioja. But I honestly don’t know much about the wines. Going to Spain next week should be better to describe next time. Not very tannins. Not very dry. Medium oak. Like it especially on a beautiful night after playing soccer with my kid. 17$. Totally worth it. Would recommend.
