Classic and polished, with aromas of red cherry, strawberry and dried plum layered with vanilla, cedar and sweet spice from American oak. The palate is elegant and structured, showing fine-grained tannins, bright acidity and a harmonious balance of fruit and tertiary development. Long and savoury on the finish, with notes of spice, leather and gentle earthiness. A benchmark traditional Rioja with excellent finesse and ageing potential.
