Campo Viejo Reserva 2004 - $12



David: A Spanish Rioja. Color is light crimson.Nose is somewhat subdued. Some red currant and red cherry fruit. Forest floor. Cinnamon. Vanilla. Maybe hazelnut. Something resembling rubber. Full bodied and velvety smooth. Nice red fruit on the palate with good acidity balance. A little bit of sourness. Well layered as red fruits become darker with some bitterness as the wine reveals more nuances. A little bit of heat but not bad. Smooth tannins. Fairly long finish.
Score 4.1/5
