A beautifully complex, subtle, lighter styled Rioja. Crazy aromas on display once given a bit of air - flowers, apples, berry, plum. You name it. What really hits the spot is the controlled spice and bark. Fruitful at first and perfectly executed acid and tannin lead you bitter spices and earth. Might even drink better the next day.
