Deep ruby color with cherry notes. Great complexity and aromatic quality of compote fruit, licorice stick, and those from aging such as spicy and balsamic aromas. Light vanillas, toffees and chocolates also appear. The palate is smooth and silky, with well defined tannins and a long and pleasant after taste. This is a perfect partner for red meats, game, oily fish and cured cheeses.

97 Points - James Suckling

A very structured and gorgeous Rioja with blackberry, cherry, cedar and spice aromas and flavors. Hints of toasted oak underneath. Granite, too. Medium-bodied, yet the structure builds on the palate, giving superb length and power. Give it three to five years to come together, and beyond.
