Sunday, October 24, 2021 - No doubt an accomplished Rioja but I found it too austere and perhaps too young. Acidic, tannic, smoky, dusty. Not all bad things - just a little bit angular and unintegrated for me. I would have liked to see more fruit and spice expression. However, a lot of potential is detectable. And I know how top Tempranillo ages - we're looking at a much better wine in 5-10 years' time. Overall, an ambitious wine, but needs time to open up and reveal its secrets.
