"This stylish, elegant, medium-bodied, deep ruby/purple-colored Rioja offers up notes of graphite, black currants, cherries, and tobacco leaves. The new oak component is well-concealed beneath the abundant fruit and terroir characteristics. Pretty as well as flavorful, it does an admirable job of marrying finesse and elegance with flavor authority."
