Rating for Spain-Dominiaciones de Origen (DO)-Rioja: 85 (average year)<br/><br/>Drinkability: too young, let it sit<br/>

Medium red violet; aromas of vanilla, sweet spice and red cherries; dry, medium bodied, with cherry fruit flavours and cedarwood notes; a well balanced structure.

considered the example of Rioja... old world and mustier! medium body more of a ruby red and a shade darker. Fruity and good acid with vanilla.

pretty good. smooth with a hint of wood taste. not too complex but still good

Average red... Quaffing or tapas... Chorizo and spicy tomatos

cherries plums vanilla best with rice pasta grilled meat

a little less good than the Solaz but still good

deelish...earthy, leathery, old world goodness.

Light old world red. Crianza winner.
