Sierra Cantabria Reserva 2005

Tempranillo, Spain. A v solid, if somewhat modern specimen from Rioja. Sweet black fruits bursting from the rim of the glass, not shy at all. Rounded black fruits again on the palate. Good extraction. Oak is there but well-judged. Luxurious silky texture, viscous. Still young w tannic bite. Long persistent finish. Good tannic framework. Definitely modern (8.8/10).
