Well it was an experiment, being an inexpensive bottle on offer from Booth's, but an 03 Rioja, so nice and aged. Light red colour, with a nose saying dust and age, and rec and black cherry.

Ripe jammy current, welches grape juice flavors with light woody spice. Good moderate acidity serves this well. Light drying tannins evaporate on the short finish. Very Good Quality. Simplistic but what can you expect for £6.50. 86 pts. Drink now.
