Tight and bitter upon opening. Opened up a bit after sitting in the glass. Expressive nose, earth, burnt wood, dried fruit, leather, spice, veggies. Very strong tannins, a bit bitter, cherry, cedar.
Immediately could smell the tobacco, caramel, vanilla, soil, blackberry and black currants. The tannins were smooth and subtle and the finish was long. We really enjoyed this wine with our tapas style meal of pulled pork tostados, seared and seasoned shishito peppers and a caprese salad.

Dark red colour. 2 hours of decanting. Little oak, tobacco, dark berries and graphite. Tannins are very subtile and smoooth. Balanced with medium length. Nice Rioja with a very good QPR.
