  Robe foncée. Vin avec les tannins souples, pas besoin être décanté. Vin assez léger, avec un bel équilibre. Sur les fruits noirs, bleuets et boisé. Belle maturité

  Sweat dark fruit driven Rioja: Plum, dark chocolate, blackberry, vanilla, graphite, medium to full body, long finish. Wining with Bas.

  Nez de fruit noir et de café au lait.
  Un vin boisé et moderne. La texture est veloutée, il est équilibré, mais trop vanillé à mon goût, bien que le tout soit harmonieux. Le bois s’estompera avec l’aération, laissant place au fruit. Le vin me plait alors davantage. J'apprécie ses qualités objectives, c'est bien fait, mais un style qui ne me convient pas tout à fait. 89-90 pts

  Very good and classy, but seemed somewhat tight and restrained. Would give it a couple more years.

  Bombastic and all over the place initially, calms down after an hour of air. Develops significantly in the glass over the 3 hour tasting. Starts with cherries, floral notes (lavender) and strong overtones of violet candy. On the second wave comes vanilla, licorice, milk chocolate, raspberry candy, coffee, spices, mint and eucalyptus.
  
  Big and dense wine but wth a surprisingly neat body with a cooling midpalate. High fruit concentration and sweetness, silky texture, loads of oak. The E Guigal of Rioja. 89p
