Federico Paternina 2007 Banda Azul Crianza Red (Rioja)

Country: Spain / Banda Azul Crianza Red
Variety: Tempranillo Blend Northern Spain
Winery: Federico Paternina / Rioja

Pasty, chemical aromas do little to draw you in. The palate on this everyday Rioja is scratchy, while flavors of tart fruit with rubbery, pasty overtones fail to elevate the wine.
