Elle de Landaluce Rioja Alavesa 2019

Description

This is a nicely fragrant, quite elegant and supple Rioja for near and mid-term enjoyment. Generous, refined aromas include cedar, strawberry/cherry fruit, caraway and vanillin. It is medium weight, fairly supple yet balanced by firm acidity and minerality. Tannins are still crusty, but again, the balance is such that [it] is drinkable now. Very good to excellent length. Tasted June 2022. Score – 91. (David Lawrason, winealign.com)
