Mellow and rich on the nose, this is a ripe, full-bodied, modern-style Rioja that's subtle and whole, and does not emphasize any one thing. The palate feels wide, jammy and ripe, with grabby tannins. Loamy flavors of black fruits, licorice, spice and controlled bitterness finish modest and chunky. — Michael Schachner
