A long time favorite Rioja. Sad seeing the price jump up nearly 25$ in two years. Nose of red cherry, leather and oak. Palate has cherry, vanilla, leather, cloves and nutmeg. Medium finish and smooth tannins. This can age for a while still. At the current price headed near 100$ in some areas, I will be looking for other Riojas like Muga Prado Enea and LRA 904 which are better in that price range in my opinion.

Others have already described the characters of this wine really well, nothing more to add from my side. I could not help myself so opened a 2015 bottle...and WOW!!! Already this good, there is potential in this wine for sure. The other 2015 bottle and the 2011 bottle in my cellar, I will definitely keep for ageing...and buy a couple more. 😉

Fruity with some complexity and limited depth. Slightly overpriced to my view.
