Coto De Imaz 2004 Rioja Reserva

IWC 90pts. - According to Steven Tanzer: Deep red. A complex bouquet displays aromas of dried cherry, red currant, cedar and vanilla. Fleshy, ripe red berry and cherry flavors are underscored by smoke, candied flowers and tobacco, with velvety tannins adding support. Finishes sweet and long, with lingering oak spice and sweet cherry notes. This is drinking very well now. According to the Wine Enthusiast: An opening of spice, toasted fruit, leather and lemon peel is attractive in the traditional sense. Medium bodied, with tangy red-cherry flavors up front and some citrus in the rear. Finishes light and fresh, with touches of vanilla and fresh-chopped dill. Very drinkable if you like a more classic-style Rioja. The wine displays complex, red berry aromas with smoky vanilla notes. On the palate, there's round, warm and juicy spiced red cherry fruit with a velvety character, and ripe tannins are apparent as a firm but pliant structure...
