September 15, 2023 - Rioja is always a crowd pleaser, for the wine lover, for the new to the table. This one is a beauty and seems ready to go for a decade or more

June 25, 2021 - From Magnum. 4.5 hour decant. It needed it. Lovely red and black fruits, just a touch of spice, Oak, herbs and Cedar. Very smooth long tannins after 4 hours of decant time.

February 27, 2021 - Had a 375ml bottle with broiled ribeye, sautéed mushrooms. Great pairing. This is a good full-bodied wine. After having this last night and a 2004 Ribera del duero last week, I am regretting that I don’t have more of these Spanish wines in my cellar.
