Xavier Flouret Rioja Alavesa Fe Reserva 2018 750ml Success
Very soft on impact, with flavors of raspberry, cassis, milk chocolate and licorice.
Winemaker Description
Dark ruby in the glass, this wine has a nose of black cherry, cranberry and aniseed. It is very soft on impact, with flavors of raspberry, cassis, milk chocolate and licorice. Satiny tannins hold off on the palate at first, make their presence known and then slip away in time for a bright finish.
