Tempranillo, Rioja Spain. Fresh raspberries and restrained oak on the nose. Silky texture - dark chocolate, blackcurrants, some oak in the background. Acids and tannins, both strong, but expertly judged - in harmony and balance. Mid to full bodied. Q a lengthy finish. Really nothing to fault, excellent from start to finish. Maybe more complexity in mid-palate would make this already great wine super. Fast becoming a big Rioja fan for its QPR (9.2/10).
