Pale chartreuse color. Smoky orange and white peach aromas are brightened by dusty minerals and baking spices. Fleshy and focused, offering moderately deep citrus and orchard fruit flavors and a late boost of tangy minerals. Gained weight with air while maintaining vibrancy, finishing long and silky, with notes of ripe pear and orange.

Rating for Spain-Dominiaciones de Origen (DO)-Rioja: 89 (slightly better than average year)<br/><br/>Drinkability: too young, let it sit<br/>
