Always a reliable, good-value buy for the Rioja fan. Not quite as good as last year's 2016 vintage, but this 100% Tempranillo still has all the trademark characters of toasty oak, smooth, creamy strawberry and dark plum fruit and a touch of vanilla and spice. Would be great with some grilled lamb chops.
