Allende, Rioja 2004

Deep red.

Nose of earth/potato/citrus/citrus blossom/cinnamon. Suave, multi-dimensional.

Leads off with citrus (grapefruit) in the mouth, lively, lean. Grapefruit, and corresponding lift, throughout. Pepper and earth weaving in and out.

Good action.

Day 3 - Fragrant wood (balsam) on the nose along with citrus and earth. Round, lean and citric, still. Great food wine.
