It has notes of red fruit (cherry, in my opinion), long and smooth, bold yet mellow—perfect!!! It’s definitely a red wine.

There were six of us, and we all agreed: It was too strong, with no real fruit or woody notes. Disappointing.

Quite disappointing. It doesn't really have the typical characteristics of a Rioja.
