  January 19, 2024 - A more traditional style of Rioja, though with rusticity (a very slight and pleasant amount of VA and Brett to add complexity) and still a lot of intense lively ripe dark red primary fruit remaining for a nine-year-old wine. Well-integrated American oak. Very good.

  May 28, 2023 - Tempranillo con una crianza mínima de 24 meses en barrica de roble americano. Alc. 13,5% vol. Color rubí con matices granates, brillo medio, capa media, marcado ribete anaranjado. Nariz de terrosos, tostados, especias, compota de frutas, quizás higos más destacados. En boca es un vino de estructura media, algo sutil, con taninos finos, acidez media pero activa y un sabroso final medio-largo. Buen conjunto, con un interesante perfil evolucionado y algo complejo.

  December 8, 2022 - Bright purple ruby with attractive notes of Bing cherry, soft toast, creamy tinned cherries and dried orange peel. Bright and pops out of the glass, there is a little tobacco leaf to remind us of Rioja.
  A soft entry, this wine is very approachable with soft creamy fruits, vanilla-infused cherries and sweet raspberry all set against a fresh undulating acidity. Dry but with a sweet texture, the tannins are velvety soft and furry. Flavours linger with bottled maraschino cherries, tobacco, rum & raisin ice cream and Christmas brandy butter! It flows along the palate, brushing into a vanilla pod, spices and more dried orange peel. Fair lengthy; it is all one way without being that complex. Super approachable!
