2007 Contino Viña del Olivo Rioja

As the name implied, this wine really smelled like olive leaves, as well as tasted like olive, as least partially. During the first pour, it was really obvious with the olives, and after decanting it for 1.5 hours, it grew to be more fruity and the olive went into background. Palate was a bit too rough even after the decanting, although fruity. Probably meant to age for another decade to be ready.
我惊讶的闻到了橄榄的味道，这还是第一回在红酒杯里闻到橄榄！我醒酒了1.5小时，虽然橄榄味后来没有那么浓了，但是却挥之不去。我不是很满意酒的内容，有点粗燥，没有法国酒的柔和。需要再陈年一个世纪。
