  Beautiful color and great mouthfeel. The overall sensation was of being closed super tight, wrapped up and bound in acidity and some tannin. We didn't get a chance to let it breathe much. Seems it needs air, and likely extra time.

  Mayoritariamente Tempranillo de viejos viñedos con una crianza de al menos 24 meses en barrica de roble americano y francés. Alc. 14% vol. Bebido en el restaurante Madero, Salvador Shopping, con los amigos @Luis Coutinho y @Vinicius Freire. Un caldo con mucho carácter y expresividad, pero aún lejos de su mejor momento.

  Decanted for an hour. Very young at the moment, inky dark fruit on the nose. The palate shows strong tannins, sharp fruit, needs time to calm down. Shouldn’t have opened this, but the wife wanted to taste a young Rioja, so here we are. Wait 10 years with the next one…

  Le vin a déjà vieillie et ce malgré le 1.5 litre qui est normalement plus lent. Superbe senteur avec une complexité en bouche. Pour le prix, c'est un wow.

  Classic flavors but I preferred the Cune expression for much less $$$
