Instantly recognizable as Rioja. American oak, cherries, brown sugar on the nose. A little of the Rioja bubblegum thing on the palate, with ripe red fruits. Somewhat disjointed on the midpalate though, with a little alcoholic heat poking through. Not bad but there are better options in Rioja at this price point.

Fruit and a lot of oak on the nose. Vanilla, oak branch, red currant, red cherries, and black chokeberry. Very nice on the palate: high-ish tannin and body but also medium acidity which makes it very drinkable. Palate confirms the nose and finish is a little bitter with a touch of smoke. Very justifiable step-up in quality from the Crianza. 8+/18

Robe rubis pâle. Nez de fruits rouges, bois, venaison et mûre. le bois est très présent. Une bouche souple avec encore une fois du bois. Les saveurs sont assez rustiques. Les tanins sont secs en finale. 93 points Suckling ! Vraiment ?
