March 24, 2023 - I'm not scoring this wine yet as I don't understand it at all. Of the case we purchased, I've opened three bottles and have been totally underwhelmed every time. I'm going to give it more time as I did with my bottles of Unico after going through same exact process with that wine a few years ago. The Unicos just weren't ready.
Last night... PnP. Nice cherry nose but not a bright fruit profile on the palate. When compared to other top end Riojas, it's just not as expressive right now. Didn't really change all that much with time and oxygen.
I'm going to bet these aren't ready yet either. -

December 25, 2022 - Bright and fruity. Richer than most Riojas, almost ephemeral. Loved this wine WAY more than before.
