Winery review: Vivid ruby. 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: Divine! This red wine has a blatant peppery presence and a bit of cherry upon sniffage that is quite appetizing. The taste on this one was hard to pin point but I did notice a slight fruity taste with slight pepper.Overall, a very tasty medium-bodied Rioja. Not enjoyed with food.
