Your right....not really old style Rioja but not entirely new word either. There is a decent amount of earthliness but just not like a grand reserva level....okay, quite the bit less. it's a bit more a supporting character than the main actor.

It does drnk more like a new world wine but it is still well put together. Maybe it just needed a few more years bottle time for it to come together a bit more.
