Top Notes For
Sipping Fine Wine

Medium Ruby red with an elegant bouquet of ripe berry fruits, spice with earthy tones, a traditional Rioja, adding in some oxidation notes because of its age. On the palate, the wine was silky smooth with layers of flavors, berry/cherry, tobacco, smoky cedar, dark fruit, vanilla spice, well balanced with fine tannins and a clean structure ending with a long finish and slight oxidation character.
