TN: 2010 La Antigua Classico Rioja Reserva

This is a great value rioja and in a perfect drinking window now. Popped and poured at cellar temp. Rich dark red color with no signs of bricking. Olives, dark red fruit and a hint of funky, earthy oak on the nose. Nice dry attack and dry finish, but lovely sweet blackberry fruit in the mid palate. My guess is this had a bit more tannic bite a couple of years ago and that has mellowed. Very good value for the price ($20ish) and a versatile wine with food.
