Winery Review: "Lightly baked berry aromas vie for attention with leather, spice and mild earth notes, and the result is disjointed. On the palate, this is tight as a drum initially, but more expansive as it unfolds. Cherry, plum, raspberry, vanilla and woodspice flavors finish pure, clean and easy. This is a fine yet manageable Rioja that’s not trying too hard. Drink through 2016."
My Review: I have said this before and I'll say it again. Felt like I walked into a florists and took a chomp out of a rose. This sucker tastes like pure flowers. It's not so much that I disliked the flavor, because it was very subtle, but nothing in particular jumped out at me.
