Solabal 2010 Crianza (Rioja)

Country: Spain / Crianza
Variety: Tempranillo Northern Spain
Winery: Solabal / Rioja

Raisin and earth aromas come across a bit baked and bland. Conversely, the palate is choppy and hard, with pointed acidity. Loamy raisin and berry flavors finish oaky, minty and a bit hot and raw, with residual tomatoey acidity.
