Marqués de Cáceres 2002 Gaudium Gran Vino (Rioja)

Country: Spain / Gaudium Gran Vino
Variety: Tempranillo Blend Northern Spain
Winery: Marqués de Cáceres / Rioja

Very nice for a 2002. The wine is elegant and delivers aromas of violets, minerals and dried fruits. The palate folds in chocolate and spice along with a layer of blackberry flavor. We wouldn’t call it superconcentrated or complex, but it’s driven, pure and pleasurable. Smells, weighs and tastes a lot like Bordeaux.
