Obalo 2009 Rioja

Country: Spain /
Variety: Tempranillo Northern Spain
Winery: Obalo / Rioja

Dark, smoky, heavily oaked and resiny, with aromas of char, leather and burnt toast. The palate is big and forceful, with a lot of oak character and also snappy blackberry, plum and buttery flavors. Modern and creamy, with enough quality fruit to back things up.
