Conde de Hervias, 2011 Rioja DOCa, Spain Domaine Michel Magnien & Frédéric Magnien Only made in the bestBright 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
