Shop Review: 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: On the nose, I was able to detect cherries. When I tasted the wine, it did have the same peppery taste as the Tres Ojos Garnacha. I was able to find some of the cherry notes within the wine though. This was not one of my favorite wines of this tasting.
With or Without Food: Without food
