Bodegas Ilurce Graciano Rioja Rio Madre

Never thought Graciano was such a bold variety, very inky with a touch of fruit, black fruit, very high tannin, not for the faint fo heart,

Pretty purple-red blended color. Black currants raspberries, and Christmas spices on the nose as well as sweet black plums. This wine is tart and mildly sweet, with cranberry, Sandlewood, and Indian spice notes. It’s quite tasty, especially into the long finish.
