Wine 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.
My Review: Dark red almost purple color, with scents of blackberry jam. Smooth smoky, tobacco flavors with a spicy finish. I really liked this wine, I still haven't found a Tempranillo I do not like.
I tasted this wine without food.
