NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
El Círculo Crianza Rioja is a medium-bodied wine with ripe berry fruit aromas and flavors of black cherry, liquorice, and spice.On the palate, it is savory with a soft and round texture with a good balance between acidity and tannins. The finish is relatively short but enjoyable with notes of plummy fruit and hints of tobacco, vanilla and coconut.
