Conde de Hervias, Rioja DOCa, Spain 2011 Domaine du Bagnol It has all the componentsBright ruby. Ripe, mineral accented cherry, dark berry, potpourri and mocha scents are accompanied by slowly emerging smoke and cracked pepper flourishes. Smooth and seamless on the palate, showing very good depth to its sweet blueberry, cherry vanilla, rose pastille and cocoa flavors, which are braced by a spine of juice acidity. Finishes impressively long and floral with smooth tannins that sneak in to add shape and gentle grip. 93 Pts Vinous
