The nose immediately emits scents of thick oozing brambles, with stewed dark plums, blackberries and a fragrant black pepper. Reenacted on the palate, you can expect to experience a stunning velvety texture, full of deep dark and juicy black meadow fruits that area teeming with bold and dense flavor. This is an incredibly well made wine that shows exuberant character and showcases a fantastic example of what Rioja can do.
