Tempranillo em proporções iguais à Garnacha (40%) +Mazuelo/Graciano. Um Rioja Baja de classe, redondo, acidez bem equilibrada, muita framboesa mesclada a condimentos como tomilho e um couro escondido extremamente elegante. Bom corpo, harmonioso e insinuante em seu final levemente apimentado.

De couleur bourgogne. Nez sur les petit fruit, boisé, végétal et datte. Bouche, le vin est très rond sur les fruits noirs mûrs, mûre , boisé et moka. Bonne astringence, parfait après 1h de décantage. Excellet accords avec filet porc mariné. Excellent rapport qualité/prix. Beau produit

Appearance: Bright and clear, it has medium ruby color, with garnet rims and legs. Nose: Clean, with medium intensity aromas of red fruit of sour cherries and raspberry, black fruit of bilberry and plum, floral notes of violet, animal notes of game, mineral notes of tar, sweet spice of cloves, maturity notes of savory. The wine is developing. Palate: Dry with medium (-) acidity, the wine has medium (-) tannin of ripe and silky texture, showing high alcohol and full body, with medium intensity flavors of red fruit of raspberry and cherries, black fruit of plum, sweet spice of cloves, kernel notes of roasted hazelnuts. The wine has a medium (-) finish. Conclusion: Good quality Rioja Grenache blend showing reasonable intensity but good complexity, the wine has a strong Grenache characters, in good balance and having structure and harmony. The palate has fair concentration and similar characters as the nose, however only having a fairly short finish. It is ready to drink now and not intend for further ageing.

Robe de couleur rouge cerise fonce ... Nez sur les fruits noirs et la réglisse ... Papilles sur les fruits bien murs et belle finale pour son rang ... J'ai beaucoup apprécié ce vin qui était à maturité ...

Not your usual Tempranillo. Aroma is nice: dark berry and chocolate. Flavor is one dimensional, acidic and unbalanced. An average wine - needs food. Impossible to drink and just savor. The eat with pizza quote is appropriate. With respect, I honestly don't understand the previous scores. I acknowledge everyone has different tastes and preferences, but perhaps some need to have a look at the wine rating assistant, or readjust their benchmark. This is not an 85+ wine.

Refined, mid-Atlantic-styled Rioja: sour cherry, strawberry, refined sweet tannins. Ripe, with an oh-so-subtle hint of thyme at the end. Absence of coconut suggests French rather than American oak?

Lovely smell of red berries (strawberry and lingonberry). Very fruity flavour without exaggerations, and with a touch of leather. Smooth tannins and very integrated acid and elegant body. A bit different than the "normal" Rioja. Excellent!

Initial nose of strawberries blows to more evolved leather components. The palate is all refined, but is very different to the gran reservas I'm more used to. Very good and interesting.

Very similar to previous notes. Makes me think this will last a couple more years for those lucky enough to have a few bottles in their cellars.

Nice little Crianza. Juicy fruit with a bit of leather, smoke and tobacco. Good with pizza.
