Ostatu 2008 Reserva (Rioja)

Country: Spain / Reserva
Variety: Tempranillo Northern Spain
Winery: Ostatu / Rioja

This is so toasty and heavily oaked that it smells burnt and acrid. In the mouth this is pinched, tannic and tough. Flavors of plum, raspberry and vanilla finish scratchy and abrasive with drum-like tightness. Drink now.
