Consejo de la Alta wines, often based on Tempranillo, offer tasting notes that include dark berry flavors (blackberry, plum, cherry), barrel-influenced notes (vanilla, oak, toast, coffee, smoke), and a rich, full-bodied palate with fine tannins, good acidity, and complex flavors of spice, leather, and earthy elements. The specific notes vary by vintage and specific bottling, but the overall profile is a robust, modern Rioja with a balanced and lingering finish.
