  Clear and bright, deep ruby and dense inky legs. The nose is clean and developing, showing medium+ intensity aromas of vanilla, coconut, liquorice, ripe plums, dark cherries, cedar and hints of lavender. It's dry in the mouth with a medium+ lively acidity, medium+ fine grained tannins, high alcohol, full body and pronounced intensity flavours of ripe plums, dark cherries, vanilla, cedar and coconut. Long finish. It's a very good quality wine with a great structure, a lingering finish and a nice fruit concentration, however it lacks a bit of complexity. Drink now, but it has enough structure and concentration to develop more complex tertiary aromas in 4-6 years.

  Un bon vin, assez typique Rioja, beaucoup de chêne et manque un peu de corps, ce ue j'avais aussi remarqué dans le reserva.

  Nice fruit and velvety texture. Not as much tannin as most tempranillos of this age. Very drinkable. Nice surprise at this price point.

  Visit to Baigorri - Samaniego (Samaniego - Rioja Alavesa): Typically Crianza colour. Very Rioja.
  Despite the vintage, this bottle wasn't bad at all.
  Tasty and full flavorated, I founded it with an evident lack of class comparing with last 05 and 04 even.
  Good enough to match food.
  
  Color típicamente de Crianza. Muy Rioja.
  A pesar de la añada, esta botella no estaba mal del todo.
  Sabrosa y plenamente aromática, la encontré con una carencia evidente de clase comparada con el último 05 incluso con el 04.
  Lo bastante rica para maridar comida.
