Coconut and wintergreen aromas announce new oak, and as it opens this somewhat muscular Rioja unveils butter and charred scents. It's full, with good acid-to-tannin balance, and the fruit is forward and ripe. A little bit sweet and chunky in the final analysis, but a nice modern-influenced Rioja on the whole. Drink now through 2009.
