Default Rioja redux

Hi,

While Faustino is not my cup of tea (to put it simply) they do seem to
have a broad group of customers worldwide. Classic style as it could



To get back to your original question, I would think that Faustino VII
is a wine that should be an example of classic Rioja. And perhaps is
the kind of wine that a regular to this forum could find a bit simple.
It retails 5-6 eur ($6-7) in its country of origin.


Thank you Santiago, i tasted teh Faustino this weekend and found it
totally unfocused and jarring to the palate.(things were happening but
not many of them good) but the real surprise was the white a wine that
promised fruit but delivered only a watered down experience sort of like
junk food, one drinks too much in order to try to consoidate the taste,
but the taste is gone, there is nothing but alcohol to consolidate.
