Juicy and expressive Rioja with some dark spices, black earth, and a hint of peppercorn to the cherries and plums. Fresh and bright on the palate with a medium body rounded by fine-grained tannins. Succulent and long. Consistent quality. The first year, there is some maturana in the blend. Drink now, but can hold well, too. —Z.S.
What We Thought: This has a big black cherry nose and a medium-bodied palate filled with more black cherry and plum fruit along with notes of licorice and black tea, finishing with lightly dusty tannins.
