title: Marqués de Terán 2009 Selección Especial  (Rioja)
description: Opaque in color, with blackberry and licorice aromas but also a distinct streak of brambly herbs and green. Later on, pine needle and tartness enter the fray. This is a commendable modern Rioja but it does have a few issues, namely a green herbal component.
variety: Tempranillo
designation: Selección Especial
