La Sorda Rioja 2022

A youthful Temp from Rioja, with a touch of Graciano and Mazuelo, which will provide some thoroughly delicious drinking in its youth, but do not be afraid to put a few bottles away for a few years, for future enjoyment. Dark maroon, there are notes of earth, roast meats, vanilla, florals, spices, plums and blackberries with a hint of sour cherries on the finish. Juicy acidity runs the length and there is a lingering finish. Drink this any time over the next three to five years. Lots to like.
