Region: Rioja
Vintage: 2008
Closure: Cork
Colour: Ruby
Alcohol: 12.5%
Bouquet: Strong sour cherry with hints of forest floor earthiness
Flavour: Pleasant, good, even length of fruit finishing with long, lingering tannins. There's a little hint of pepper in the flavour as well.
Points: 85 (3+7+11+7+7+50)
Notes: Bought for $12.50~225Kc five years ago, there's not much not to like about this wine. Obviously it doesn't have the additional complexity of a lot of oak but excellent as is.
