  Spanish Trip; 2/21/2024-2/23/2024 (Spain): Kind of boring, it does not have a lot to give, goes not so bad with food.
  
  An overall decent wine but certainly uninteresting from a tasting perspective.

  I'm not sure that I would recognise this as Rioja, if blind. First of all the élevage was unusually discreet, just a hint of dry caramel and vanilla on the finish. The fruit veered towards richness with a touch of English boiled sweet. There was sufficient balancing acidity and a bit of kirsch towards the finish. Quite good.

  Currant, cherry, toast, and black olive nose. Medium-bodied with fresh fruits and dry, spicy tannins; youthful, gripping finish.
  3/5
