Marqués de Vargas 2010 Reserva (Rioja)

Country: Spain / Reserva
Variety: Tempranillo Blend Northern Spain

Typical for this winery, this smells a bit herbal, with tomato and earthy plum aromas leading the way. Scratchy, grabby tannins support savory, herbal berry flavors. Hard tannins struggle to resolve themselves on a firm, muscular finish.
