Excellent fresh and fruity style Rioja combining huge fruit with perfect oak. I checked it on the web and the wine was aged 3 months in completely new French oak. It is a bit pricey considering it is only roble style, but what I like on this wine is amazing elegance and drinkability. We finished the bottle very very quickly.
