Vintage Cellar Review: "Ripe cherry and black current 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 is an excellent value for Rioja."
My Review: This wine had a very noticeable fruity aroma and had a bold red color. There was a blend of spice and vanilla in this wine. I'm not fond of vanilla or spicy wines, so this wine didn't do much for me. There was a lot of dark fruity flavors like plums and blackberries which gave it a very dry, chalky, not desirable finish.
This wine was not paired with food.
