Bodegas Ollauri Conde de los Andes 2004 Rioja - Spain

Aromas of prune, dried beef and blackberry are dense, indicating that this aged Tempranillo is more bull than ballerina. A big palate shows tartaric bite and some burn, while this tastes of savory berry fruits, cured meat and oak. This is medium in length on the finish; very nice but lacks complexity. Drink now.
