Dried cherry, plum and vanilla do most of the work here. Leather and tobacco bring the extra detail; the polished tannin gives it grip without taking over.
At the table: There is no need to overthink this: roast beef or hard cheese. There is real grip here, which is useful with a rich cut, while dried cherry stays loud enough to be heard.
Origin: Rioja, Spain, Spain
Grape: Tempranillo blend
