Such a deep yet complex and sophisticated nose showing discretion perfume and finesse. A hint of violet extract to the black cherries crushed blueberries and cocoa powder aromas together with Spanish cigars that slowly evolve to truffle black pepper incense and freshly chopped herbs. Juicy yet really composed and dry with medium to full body and abundant immaculately fine-grained tannins that unwind evenly on the palate. A style that is restrainedly plush and refined showing superb precision cohesion and length when you give it enough time in your glass. If Las Beata's is the fine Burgundy then this would be Telmo Rodriguez's Rioja answer to world-class Bordeaux. Decant it to let the complexity come through.
