A great wine. An archetype of what makes Rioja unique: harmonious American oak, stylish oxidative development, fresh balance and a long finish.

Tasting: Under 20 Rioja

Traditional, savoury style with soy sauce and rusticity. Typical Rioja with elegance and class. Long length and delicious. Multi-dimensional and complex.
