David: A Crianza from Rioja. Tempranillo.
We tried the Campo Viejo Reserva before which is aged longer and cost $1 more. Color is dark crimson. Nose is red fruit but deeply bathed in a little too much vanilla scented oak. Maybe a little mintiness. Medium to full bodied with a silky texture. Lucious, sour cherry fruit on the palate with strong acidity that seems to mellow out a little with some air. Somewhat less complex overall than the Reserva which is probably worth the extra buck.
Score: 3.8/5
Jessica: No comment. Gulp. Gulp.
