Bodegas Palacio Cosme Palacio Rioja 2005

And to the last wine in my Spanish purchase. This Rioja, again from Bodegas Palacio showed light aromas of strawberry, raspberry, cherry and a little spice. On the palate it was quite lightweight for a Rioja, but was well balanced and very easy going. Overall quite a lightweight wine, lacking some depth and structure of better Riojas. Nonetheless it is cheap but definitely not nasty. Around $11.
50+4+12+16+7 = 89/100
