Nice nose of black cherry, black plum, tobacco leaf, leather, barnyard notes and a hint of dill. A resinous aroma hangs.
On the palate, well-integrated tannins, alcohol and acid. Cherry, plums, raspberry, dried herbs. Medium+ finish keeps the flavour going on for some time.
Classic Rioja, should age for a few more years quite happily.
Tasted October 2016.
