Lopez de Heredia Bosconia Rioja 2000

[VouvrayHead]

Just had a bottle of this (paid $35)
Nice wine, tend to agree with your notes, though didn't get any tobacco, and black cherry was one the notes I centered on. Finish was short, but the nose was pretty.
Wouldn't buy this vintage again at $35, but at your price, Alex, it's much more attractive.
Oh, went great with oven fries seasoned with smoked paprika, cracked green peppercorn and oregano. Better with the food than on its own.
