A good value find for fans of traditional oak-aged Riojas. Classic nose of sweet, spicy, cedary oak and black berries. The palate shows good balance between oak and fruit, with nice freshness too for this older vintage. Aged for 20 months in American and French oak, wth a further six months in bottle.
