Vina Real Rioja Bakeder

Bakeder is a cherry red color. Aromatic with notes of fresh red fruit, and some licorice. The wood is there but you have to look for it. Once in the mouth you feel the structure, the volume, but its all restrained, the tannin is fine and the wine is long. So easy to drink. What it must have been like to drink 1920s Viña Real before beginning the lengthy barrel ageing. This is a complex wine with great ageing potential. It expresses CVNE's terroir from Laguardia, Rioja Alavesa.  (from CVNE)
