Siglo 2007 Reserva (Rioja)

Country: Spain / Reserva
Variety: Red Blend Northern Spain
Winery: Siglo / Rioja

Licorice and leather aromas give character to smoky yet generic plum and raspberry scents. This feels tight and fresh given its age, with earthy, slightly muddled flavors of raspberry and plum infused with oak and vanilla. On the finish, things seem caught between racy and tired, so drink now.
