Trial analysis
Dark fruit, liquorice, dried flowers, violets and a touch of green pepper on the nose. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, with plenty of energy, linear acidity and a focused profile. The dark fruit remains clearly present, supported by a fine peppery note. A fresh, incisive and distinctive expression of Rioja.
