Quality
A 0–100 expert rating: 80–84 good, 85–89 very good, 90–94 excellent, 95–100 classic. Higher means a more highly regarded wine.
81/100Good
Pasty, chemical aromas do little to draw you in. The palate on this everyday Rioja is scratchy, while flavors of tart fruit with rubbery, pasty overtones fail to elevate the wine.
Flavor profile
An estimate of the wine's structure: body (how full it feels), acidity (tartness), sweetness, and tannin (the drying grip in reds).
