Dense black plum and berry aromas are earthy, flat and jammy by Calvario standards. Feels chewy and hefty, with grabby, driving tannins and roasted flavors of blackberry, espresso and herbs. Not as complex and interesting compared to great vintages, but still an impressive Rioja cut from a modern cloth. Drink now through 2016.
