When I first tasted it out of the bottle, I was disappointed. No tannin, so me dark fruits, that characteristic rioja heavy oak, pretty good, but in li ght of the Priorat Ardilles I had recently, which costs half, good wasnt go od enough.
Then I decanted it 2 h. Well done. Dark dusty berry, earth, licorice, dust y tannins on the long finish. Some pepper and mushroom in the finish.
Had with lamb rack, asparagus and mashed taters.
