Shop 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: Incredibly dry, distinct nose of blackberries and almost blueberries. I taste blueberries in the finish, but I did not enjoy this wine at all.
