This had that really rustic nose that I couldn't come up with a good term, so I see David Lawrason states "nose of tobacco/cigar", and yes that is just what that Rioja scent I enjoy seems to be just like, thanks Dave.

UPDATE to 88.7 - that scent was still present in empty wine glass 20 minutes afterwards - this is now my new house wine!
