...alluring chocolate and cherry nose with impressively integrated spicy oak. The palate has firm tannins in the mid-palate. Very plush, detailed and attractive, long and balanced. Big plum flavor. Very fresh.
Powerful, highly perfumed aromas of primary dark fruits, potpourri and incense, complicated by oak spice, vanilla and woodsmoke nuances. Sweet, seamless and palate-staining, offering densely packed blackberry, cherry-vanilla and violet pastille flavors energized by a spine of juicy acidity and a suggestion of peppery spices. Finishes sweet and quite long, delivering outstanding finishing clarity and harmonious tannins that blend effortlessly with the wine's sappy fruit.
...nose defined by baked black fruits, vanilla, cinnamon and wood grain. The palate is sappy and huge, a heavyweight with modest finesse. Roasted blackberry and cassis flavors sit atop oaky bedding, while this feels jammy and tannic on a beefy finish.
All the sweet oak clichés of Rioja, not that that’s necessarily a bad thing! Fine, chalky tannic texture, smooth and ripe with standard, straightforward Rioja style.
