Such proper tempranillo with minor yet effective supports from traditional graciano and garnacha really works. Ropey...

Surprisingly closed at the moment, even fruity still, this is a Rioja Reserva that slips outside of the standard...

Tightly wound but good structure and balance. Not concentrated or jammy but quite old school approach. However fruit is dominating now. Perhaps the tabacco/leather savoury flavors need time to develop alongside the not-so-ripe plum and sour cherry flavors. Good stuff
