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: This red wine was very nice out of the bottle. I cant say it was the best red wine i have tried so far this, however with some decanting it may come close. The wine definitely finished sweet which was a nice touch. The wine was not peppery at all so if pepper is not your preferred taste in a red wine give this a try.
