Description
An old-school example of Rioja and one that provides ample evidence that the Old School still has much to teach us: instead of retaining youthful fruit, the extended barrel aging softens the fruit, ripens it further so bing cherries become black cherries. Earthy notes protrude: white mushroom caps, damp earth, forest floor and leather hints and the finish suggests dried strawberries. Drink soon or in the next several years.
