2016 Rolland Galarreta Iconic Rioja Tempranillo Garnacha Graciano

Lovely deep dark cherry red color. Ripe on the nose and concentrated fruit aromas, with mineral and spice traces, and notes of blackberry and blueberry jam wrapped in creamy oak and tones of toffee and café au lait. Palate concentrated and glycerin like in the center, well-balanced and fruit driven with fine tannins. Very long and expressive, leaving a clear impression of the character of the terroir.Suggested for dishes such as marmitako, which is a traditional Basque stew prepared by fishermen and made with tuna, tomatoes and green peppers. It also goes well with lamb dishes, beef steak and grilled sea bream as well as with cheese.
