Alegre & Valganon Rioja Tinto 2020

A classical, restrained, medium to full-bodied blend of tempranillo and grenache that delivers charming Old World savoury style. A musky perfume of rose petals, dark cherries, redcurrants and fiery eastern spice precedes a spotlessly clean, firmish and fine-grained palate whose moderately rich core of fruit culminates in a savoury finish of spice and red licorice. The last twelve months has seen it flesh out considerably into an artfully balanced, elegant and yet sumptuously flavoured red of excellent quality.
