Shop review: Vivid ruby. Ripe cherry and blackcurrant on the nose and in the mouth. Pliant and seamless in texture, with good heft and back-end energy. Finishes smooth and sweet, with fine-grained tannins providing shape and grip. Still on the young side but this wine drinks very well with an hour or so of decanting; it's an excellent value for Rioja.
My review: This wine smelled very strongly of blackberry with faint hints of black cherry, but then tasted more of black cherry than of blackberry. This wine had was fairly dry, but no so much that it detracted from the experience. I enjoyed this wine, and would definitely order it again.
