El Coto Crianza Rioja 2013

Dark ruby color. Nose of black berries, spices, smoke, vanilla and oak. Silky mouth feel where the oak flavors coats the fruit without any excess. The smoky and spicy notes with the vanilla with garnish the finish. Could get some air in a decanter to help the wine being even more expressive. Good+ (88)

Medium dark garnet color. Charming nose of black berries, spices, vanilla and oak. The flavors on the palate are about the same as on the nose with a silky and slightly oaky finish. May not be the bolder Rioja around, but it’s ready to drink and will please your guest with its natural charm. Very good (89)
