Winery 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: 14% alcohol with a nice red color. Plum, bold and spicy on the nose. Spicy, jammy, full body and big tannins with a dry after taste. I did not have this wine with food.
