Excellent wine. Unmistakeable Rioja. Lashings of vanilla, fresh fruit and leathery spice. Packs a punch and has ageing potential. Fruit more noticeable than last time I tried it, so grabs itself an extra half star!

Appearance:The wine is Clear with a Medium Ruby colour. Nose:The nose is Clean and Developing, showing Medium(+) intensity primary aromas of red cherry, raspberry, black cherry; secondary aromas of smoke, vanilla and tertiary aromas of leather and mushroom. Ingrid was picking up some Xmas-sy notes: Burnt Orange. Palate:The wine is Dry in the mouth with a Medium(+) level of acidity. It has Medium(+) Ripe/Soft tannins and a Medium(+) Level of alcohol (13.50%). It has Medium body and Medium(+) intensity primary flavours of red cherry, raspberry, black cherry; secondary flavours of smoke, vanilla and tertiary flavours of leather and mushroom. The finish is Medium(+). Conclusion:This is a very good quality wine with good concentration and length. It has a complex aroma/flavour profile encompassing primary fruit, secondary and tertiary character. The tannins are soft and well integrated.

Classic Rioja style. Really developed with loads of leather, tobacco and spice. I gave it plenty of opportunity but the fruit didn't appear

This was nice, smokey, rounded, relaxed, a good bargain.

Decanted for an hour, this is coming full bodied, meaty, smoky with juicy blackcurrant very delicious and ready for drinking.
