The 2008 Bodega D. Mateos ‘Navaldar’ brings aromas of blackberry, cherries, leather, smoke, dried tobacco and hints of mint. The medium body is supported by fine-grained tannins, which dry out on finish, leaving behind cherry and herb flavors. This is a Rioja which is made in more of a traditional style, composed from 90% Tempranillo, 5 % Garnacha y 5% Graciano from vines averaging 55-years. (Best 2014-2020) - November, 2013 - (JD)
