Description
A mature and classically styled Rioja showing soft, evolved character. The nose opens with aromas of dried cherry, leather, and cedar, alongside hints of vanilla, dried herbs, and a touch of earthy spice from long barrel ageing.
On the palate, the wine is silky and mellow, with softened tannins and fading red fruit—think stewed plum and sour cherry—wrapped in gentle oak tones. Notes of tobacco, clove, and a faint balsamic edge add tertiary complexity.
The finish is smooth and savoury, with a lingering sense of spice and old wood. Now fully mature—best enjoyed soon, ideally with roast meats or aged Manchego.
