Shop Review: Ripe cherry and blackcurrant on the nose and
in the mouth. Pliant and seamless in texture, with good heft and back-end
energy. Finishes smooth and sweet, with fine-grained tannins providing shape
and grip. Still on the young side but this wine drinks very well with an
hour or so of decanting; it’s an excellent value for Rioja.
Personal
Review: Smells of cherry and maybe dark
chocolate, but misleading about the following taste. Far too dry, which overtakes the entire wine. Actually burns your eyes if you breathe into
it.
Food Paring: not tasted with food
