Faustino Rivero Ulecia Rioja Organic Tempranillo 2024

Organic Tempranillo from its home territory in Spain, this is fresh and young and bursting with flavour. Purple/maroon in colour, the nose exhibits notes of roast meats, a fresh herb garden, chocolate, soy, aniseed and a touch of toasty oak. There is a sleek texture here, through to abundant tannins. A wine of decent length, which sees the emergence of notes of cassis and fresh beetroot on the palate, along with some extra chocolate notes. Early days, but there is promise here. Enjoy this anytime over the next eight years.
