Marqués de Elciego 2009 Selección (Rioja)

Country: Spain / Northern Spain
Variety: Tempranillo
Winery: Marqués de Elciego / Selección

The nose on this round, medium-bodied wine is defined by sweet oak and milk chocolate. In the mouth, it’s chunky and ripe, with raw tannins. Flavors of sweet, pushy berry fruits and heavy oak lead to a toasty finish with carob and wood flavors. This is good but oak-dominated.
