Was looking for a clove aftertaste and the grape Rioja was recommended....not quite there but full of taste

First poor Rioja experience. I was starting to think that the Spanish region of Rioja was incapable of making bad wine. Well, nothing's perfect

Ok but at 10 years old, was hoping for more. Not a memorable wine.

A little bland for a Rioja. Expected more but still very drinkable.

Pretty good red. No outstanding notes. Drinkable, but most likely not a second but, in sight. Might be too old, probably best enjoyed young.
