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

Rioja Crianza (CVNE alternate label) with some age on it. Bright red raspberry and strawberry fruit aromas and flavors. Hints of oaky spice with a touch of mint. Still tastes quite juicy and fresh. Excellent QPR.

2020 fall. A bit loose and green, but still enjoyable with bright red fruit

Meh. It opened a bit better after 15min then did something very odd after that. Not fruity. Overall not great.

Tannins are great for pairing with Afghan food.

Flavors of red fruit like raspberry and plum. Earthiness comes through with a good amount of acidity.
