Not bad at the original price of $16.95 but good value if you can find a bottle at the bin end price of $11.90. I picked one up in Toronto last month. Tart red berry amid spice, meatiness and moderate tannin. Good flavour depth with ripeness and acidity mingling well. Nothing remarkable but solid, easy drinking Rioja. LCB0 $16.95 ($11.90 sale)
Some intriguing peppery notes join ripe, sweetish fruit in this easy drinking Rioja. Good aromatic and flavour depth for the money with ripe tannin and sufficient acidity. Drink over the next 6-12 months. Try with braised beef. LCBO Vintages January 10 $14.95
A flavourful and nicely structured Rioja for the money. Impressive red fruit scents amid wood spice and creamy hints. Red fruit flavours are consistent from start to finish with good weight and lively acidity. A fine match for slow roasted meat or grilled vegetables. LCBO Vintages $18.75
