Ripe blackberry, blueberry and plum lead the nose, gradually opening to smoky, toasted wood, spice, mineral and tobacco notes. The palate is smooth and velvety, with soft, polished tannins and real balance, closing on an elegant, layered finish of coffee, dark chocolate and more dark fruit. A serious, old-school Rioja built for slow-cooked lamb, mature cheese or a long dinner table.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat the winery says:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA reassuringly balanced Rioja crafted over five years.
