RIOJA

Medium-bodied palate with depth, very classical with extra freshness. There are notes of maple syrup, smoke, licorice & crisp fruit. The palate is austere, crunchy & reveals the chalkiness of the soils. There's definition & precision here.

Serious, structures, modern and intense, with layers of savory dark berry fruit and oak. This will reward patience. This wine pairs beautifully with beef, lamb, and mushrooms.
