Dense and massive on the nose, this well-aged Rioja opens with aromatics of black cherry, red currant, black olive, leather and sagebrush. This leads to rich flavors of black cherry, black olive, wild blackberry preserves and Mandarin orange rind that sit alongside moderate tannins. This is gorgeous and polished wine, with a lingering finish and the structure that makes this impossible to resist right now. (Best 2016-2028) - July, 2016 (OB)
