Bodegas y Vinedos Ilurce 'Rio Mazos' 2016 Review

This is such a great example of how wonderful Rioja can be. You are in for a treat with this one. Your nose will swoon at the earthy vibes that waft into your brain, with smells like a whiff of herbs, cherries, cranberries and wet pavement after a thunderstorm. The palate is so damn balanced, and with just the right amount of grip. There is so much awesome here I would pop this out at your next fancy dinner party or pair it with Spanish meats and cheeses and some good friends.
