This was the first sample of our blind tasting of Rioja Reservas, this wine literaly opened itself after we went back and re-tasting the samples to confirm the taste. I remember the bouquet was amazing there were spices, cherries and could not help myself not to smell fresh oranges, all this accompanied by nice vanilla, but very delicate one just to underpin the fruit. Similar characteristics were in the taste.
