Very balanced with nuanced flavors of red and black fruit, smoke, mineral, spicey oak and pepper notes. Great mid-palate glides to a fairly long finish with modest complexity. Would purchase again

Tight upon opening but evolved into a very pleasant, balanced wine. Stood up favorably to a more expensive older Rioja in virtual blind tasting. Excellent QPR.

I opened this 2 1/2 hours before dinner and it was hard as a rock. Will wait a couple of years on future ones. It had improved by the next day but not enough. Just too early for this one in ny view.

While good, didn’t find anything special about this wine. Maybe i will let the other bottles sit for a couple years and come back Good wine just not worth what I paid I don’t think

Popped and poured; consumed over three days. Initially this came across quite polished and pretty straight down the middle for Rioja. On the third day, this became rather fascinating with dark cherries, cumin, leather and spices. On the palate, this was rich and juicy with Asian spices and a super savory finish. This is a newer project from the talent behind Remelluri and if this bottle is representative, count me as a believer! Bottle No. 09253
Spanish Tasting (Bistro Cocotte, Haberfield): Rich, ripe, dark fruits; black hued with a little blueberry underpin, polished, ripe, very fruit pure on the nose. In the mouth it's juicy, fleshy, gain ripe with alcohol warmth and silky tannings that are very much in the background, tugging at the palate. The purity of fruit on the nose is here on the palate as well but the alcohol lends a peppery hotness on the finish. Hmm.

a little disappointed in this Rioja. Missing the typical levels of oak and leather I enjoy in a Rioja. Not sure if more age would help this one.

Not ready yet. Needs more age. Try again in 2 years (2023) at a minimum.

Well made, lightly oaked, great expression of Tempranillo, plenty of red and black fruit, long finish, balanced.
