Shop Review: Ripe cherry and black currant 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 will with an hour or so of decanting; it's an excellent value for Rioja.
My Review: On the nose, this wine smells like a stick of butter. The aftertaste of this wine is spicy and dry. The currants come through in the mouth. Perhaps this wine would have been better had we followed the decanting recommendation.
With Food? No
