Drinking Window: 2022 - 2026
A classically styled Rioja that's only produced in top years. Nose of spicy black and blue berries. The palate shows good balance between fruit and oak (24 months in American and French barrels). Blackberries, ripe red fruit, savoury hints, smooth, rounded tannins and a long spice-driven finish.
