This is the '04. I believe this is selling for $17 but could be wrong. Close to this price anyway.
This wine is from Rioja.
Great cherry fruit and dusty earth on the nose. Also a little bit of kirsch and some barnyard earth as well. Palate has the same characteristics; the palate is extremely well balanced. acidity is great.
The oak is evident, but certainly not overpowering, even though vanillan is evident. Nice weighty center is responsible for it's opulence. Great creamy fruit.
Get it....
