  Cork split into two pieces so it was necessary to decant. Dark cardinal colour with violet watery edges. Aromas of black berries, burnt caramel, liquorice, anthracite, black olives, dark chocolate and roasted coffee. Monolithic and one-dimensional. Totally modern character.
  The palate retains its high acidity which provides freshness to also its gastronomic profile. Little permanence and astringent finish. Impossible to recognize as an authentic Rioja cosecha, but on the contrary reminds a very acidic RdD which is also a contradiction.
  
  Corcho partido en dos piezas por lo que fue necesario decantar. Oscuro color cardenalicio con violáceos bordes acuosos. Aromas a bayas negras, caramelo quemado, regaliz, antracita, olivas negras, chocolate negro y café tostado. Monolítico y unidimensional. Totalmente de carácter moderno. Al paladar conserva su alta acidez lo que proporciona frescura a su perfil gastronómico. Escasa permanencia y final astringente. Imposible de reconocer como un auténtico Rioja cosecha, más al contrario recuerda a un RdD muy ácido lo cual también es un contrasentido.

  91 Botella super pesada, pretenciosa. En nariz es más cálido, bastante madera, caja de puros, tostados. En boca está muy hecho, quizá el que más de toda la cata. Agradable y bien hecho, con una boca limpia y bien equilibrada. Correcto.

  Clear, dark mauve with pink rim, hundreds of thick fast-streaming tears.
  Clean, med intensity, with aromas of roasted blackberries, black currants, vanilla, red licorice, brambles and fresh leather.
  Dry, med body, high alcohol, med- acidity, med tannins, further tastes of summer pudding, red cherries, kalamata olives, hint of cigar box. This should normally have much more tannin grip but it is truly a delicate Rioja, with decent finish. Great wine for value.

  Canlı mor rofleli medium yakut renkte.Onde is vanilya tatli baharat gibi mese kaynakli aromalari dengeleyen oldukca olgun erik ,visne, meyankkoku aromalarını arkada animal ,yaban mersini zamanla da tutun notaları destekliyor.Orta ustu govde. Yumusak yuvarlak son derece akıcı, damakta tutunması güzel.Damakta hafif bir tatlimsilik ve baharat tatları ile fazlaca kompleksite gösteremese bile ,orta ustu uzunluktaki bitimi ile temiz, fıçı notalarına rağmen uzumun karakterini ortaya çıkarabilen,bence modern tarzda yapilmis bir sarap 88+ 2015-2020

  Another wine from our top shelf. First encountered this at a Suppliers wine tasting and could not wait to climb into a bottle when I got home and boy was I not disappointed!!! Full and powerful to start but finishing the bottle 24 hrs later it have evolved into something quite special. Silky smooth with a lovely long finish, it will always be a top shelf wine in our house.
