Reconocido uno de los mejores vinos de España. 100% Tempranillo de una sola viña plantada en 1945. Viñedo ubicado en Laguardia. 2,4 hectáreas en un suelo arcilloso-calcáreo. Vinificación en depósitos abiertos de madera con maceración en frío durante 24-48h y fermentado durante 10-12 días con dos pisados diarios y un pequeño remontado. Maloláctica en barrica. Crianza de 15 meses en barricas nuevas de roble francés. En nariz es muy interesante, muy sutil y estructurado. Pues seda en boca, redondo... Una lástima que se caiga tan rápido en boca. No creo que valga lo que piden por él.

Berner Wine fair (cult wine tasting) (Bern,Switzerland): Great Rioja which is surprisingly approachable at the moment. Lots of fruit, minerality, velvet, but present tannins and high, well integrated acidity. This wine will certainly evolve and gain complexity over time but makes a lot of fun at the moment.

(at W - Barcelona) Dark and saturated color. Complex, smoky nose that has elements of wood, graphite, dark fruits and spice. Modern but not too over the top. Would have a hard time placing it as Rioja, but a darn good drink that needs a few years to come together. Price is a bit outlandish. (91)

Score is on potential. Agree with previous review that this wine needs more time. Great texture/body, silky, rich. Incredible aroma, especially for a Tempranillo. Long on the palate with some interesting layers...but layers aren't well defined yet. Still has some tanins, but smoothing out nicely. At least another 5 years before ready.

Decanted 3 hours. Very good wine. This needs a few more years in the cellar. 93 pts at the moment.
