Winery Review: Lightly baked berry aromas vie for attention with leather, spice and mild earth notes, and the result is disjointed. On the palate, this is tight as a drum initially, but more expansive as it unfolds. Cherry, plum, raspberry, vanilla and woodspice flavors finish pure, clean and easy. This is a fine yet manageable Rioja that's not trying too hard.
My Review: This wine is strong in every sense. It is super tannic, and super acidic. However, it does not have too much of sweetness. Even with a lack of sweetness, this wine feels well balanced. It has strong floral and herbal aromas. The flavor is mainly dark berries, and this wine leaves the mouth feeling super parched and leathery.
I did not consume any food with this wine.
