Finca La Emperatriz 2000 Reserva (Rioja)

Country: Spain / Northern Spain
Variety: Tempranillo Blend
Winery: Finca La Emperatriz / Reserva

With tobacco, molasses, spearmint and baked fruit aromas, this finds itself squarely in the old school forum. The palate shows straight-ahead red fruit with light herbal and pepper accents. Snappy and a bit thin, but it offers all the basics.
