Pagos del Rey 2008 Arnegui Reserva (Rioja)

Country: Spain / Northern Spain
Variety: Tempranillo
Winery: Pagos del Rey / Arnegui Reserva

Wiry cherry aromas are a touch cheesy and also medicinal. This is pinched and astringent, with a choppy mix of buttery red-berry flavors and vanilla. Like most 2008s, this finishes hard and abrupt, with staunch tannins.
