Shop Review: 100% tempranillo. 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 wine is 14% alcohol but did not taste that strong. It has a candy apple and dark
cherry nose. I tasted an almost yogurt taste on the finish with not as much of
a mid taste as I would have expected. Thus it was not as rounded out as I would have liked. It was not decanted, so maybe that would have changed my opinion.
I did not try this wine with food.
