Shop Review: Bright violet. Vibrant red and dark berry scents are complemented by hints of cola and candied flowers. Fresh and energetic on the palate, offering juicy raspberry and bitter cherry flavors that deepen and become sweeter on the back half. Gentle tannins build slowly on the clinging finish but are no match for the plush, primary fruit. This delicious Rioja drinks surprisingly well already.

My Review: At first, this wine reminded me of some sort of hard candy. The closest I could come to what it might be was licorice cough drops or something of similar smell. Tasting this wine, I found it surprisingly bland. I had been expecting more since the aroma was very vibrant. There was a peppery and dry finish. I felt that I needed a drink of water after drinking this wine.
I tasted this on its own with no food.
