Sierra Cantabria "Collecion Privada" Rioja 2003

Red/purple.

Reticent nose - citrus/pepper/earth/grilled meat.

Intense mouthfeel shows a bit of flesh in the mid-palate. A bit brawny at the moment, probably a (hot) vintage thing. Citrus chew along with a macaroon quality in the finish. Good stuff.

$38
