From 75cl, v. good cork. Decanted 1 hour. Generic, big-bodied, squeaky-clean, modern-style Rioja with good concentration, dark fruit, and not-quite resolved tannins. A pleasant but boring highly-polished new-wave Spanish wine, a terrible waste of new oak barriques, but you can't blame anyone for trying their best to make a silk purse out of the material available. I just wish I hadn't fallen for the hype and paid 50 EUR back in 2009. 87–88P

Gute, dichte Struktur. Nach wie vor fast schwarz. Tolle Mineralik mit viel Frucht.

Sweet dark berry fruit, bigarreau, mint, chocolate, but good acidity, freshness, smooth tannins. Very much in the international style but very good.
