initially this rioja seems topped by gritty aromas of tire rubber and burnt leaves, but with airing it gets more earthy and presentable. tight tannins and a firm structure are the greeting on the palate, while flavors of stewed berries, herbs and oak take things to a warm, lightly baked finish with balance and length. the more this wine breathes, the better it shows. drink through 2020.
