Tasting Notes
A clear example of the elegance and sickness of the classic Rioja reservas but displays a more modern profile. A rich and complex wine with intense aromas of ripe dark and red fruit, cinnamon and persistent notes of spices. Very versatile with all kinds of mediterranean cuisine, meat recipes and all sort of cheeses.
