Vintage Cellar 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: Very pretty, dark red color. There were cherry, raspberry, cranberry, and other berry flavors strongly in the nose. Reminded me of the smell of Christmas dinner and dessert. Had some good spices jumping on the tongue. Smooth and smokey feel to it, very nice!
I tried this wine on its own without food.
