Description
Unlike the majority of Rioja wines, which are blends of Tempranillo and other grapes, this wine is made from 100% Tempranillo. It's aged in French oak casks for 24 months, plus six years in bottle before release. Look for notions of redcurrant, clove and black pepper wrapped in tannins that have smoothed out over the 11 years since vintage. The producer recommends pairing it with stewed fish, game casseroles and suckling pig. Grilled pork or bison burgers would go equally well.

Tasting Notes
Burnt orange and plum with black cherry and chocolate. Full-bodied and layered with ripe tannins and a savory finish. Shows freshness and decadence at the same time. Drink or hold. Score - 92. (jamessuckling.com, Nov. 2, 2020)
