Winery review:
90 Points – Wine Enthusiast
Lightly baked berry aromas vie for attention with leather, spice and mild earth notes, and the result is disjointed. On the palate, this is tight as a drum initially, but more expansive as it unfolds. Cherry, plum, raspberry, vanilla and woodspice flavors finish pure, clean and easy. This is a fine yet manageable Rioja that’s not trying too hard. Drink through 2016.

My review:
I didn't like this wine because it had strong aromas of cherry and cat pee. It had a smooth taste but enough tannins that it was too dry for me. It tasted like slightly wet gravel and black pepper. I would not have this wine again.

Food or no food:
I didn't have this wine with food.
