Some mixed feelings about this. The wine is not bad. Maybe I was expecting something more based on the producer and my positive bias towards white riojas.
Citrus aromas and you get also the expected apricot and nectarine. Some minerality lingers as well. The acidity despite the age and the climate is still pleasantly present. A bit thinner than it should.
Overall a decent wine for the 12€ I paid for but I don't think I'll buy it again

Not really impressed. Takes some time to show off the not-so-intense aromas. Dark fruits that lean towards the riper side. Oak that one might say just a bit more than it should (found it a bit unbalanced on the nose).
Grainy but soft tannins. Good acidity. Perfectly drinkable now - I think it lacks the structure to age longer than a 5-7 year period

Punches you in the nose.
Even before you swirl you get a full set menu of aromas. Dark fruits, smoke, oak, medicinal aromas. Earth
Tannins are still proudly present. The aftertaste comes in waves. Shoot reload shoot reload
This has a lot of life ahead
