Violets, soy, red berries and dark tart cherries with Parmesan rind on the nose, and blood, tomato juice and himalayan salt on the palate, accompanying inner-mouth florals. Streaky acidity and calm but persistent tannins. Not quite as delicate as expected... feels midway in its transformation to tertiary deliciousness.

Still have a few bottles left in my cellar. Nice Ruby red with an elegant bouquet of ripe berry fruits, spice with earthy tones, a traditional Rioja. On the palate, the wine was silky smooth with layers of flavors, berry/cherry, tobacco, smoky cedar, dark fruit, vanilla spice, very well balanced with fine tannins and a clean structure ending with a nice lingering finish. Aging well! Delicious! Good value!
