  Deep ruby color. Nose of black cherry, cedar, damp earth. Medium bodied and juicy with fine tannins on the finish.

  Wonderful soft sweet fruit, sublime mouthfeel. Just amazing right now. A great example of why I should drink more Rioja!

  Early Oct 2021: deep dark red color; started with funk in the nose; after decanting for approx. 1 h a fine bouquet of coffee, spices and dark fruits developed; soft and gentle on the palate, well-balanced by a slight adstrigency.

  2/7, vg cork. Deep ruby/garnet core, pale garnet rim. Nose shows dark tempranillo fruit, touch of vanilla, mocha. Cedar too. Medium bodied, pure dark fruit, touch of smoke and cedar, fine tannins, fresh acidity, good length finish. Classy and composed, no hurry here.

  Good closure. Colour a definite garnet but vibrant nonetheless. Nose is dark fruit with plenty of oak - not as coconut dominated as some so perhaps a mix of french and American oak? Palate is youthful with a nice blackberry bramble fruit and soft persistent tannins. Nice long soft finish.
