Winery: R. de Ayala Lete E Hijos / Rioja
Rubbery, smoky and a little crusty smelling, with creamy, mildly lactic berry flavors and feel. The wine has an oaky stickiness to it that is most present late. While neither heavy nor stewed, this wine does have a soft, chunky DNA. So while it’s big and plump, it’s also only half-full.
