  October 17, 2011 - Blend of 75% Tempranillo, 12% Mazuelo, 10% Garnacha Tinta and 3% Graciano, this wine was aged in barrel for an insanely amount of time: 216 months – that’s about 18 years and another 10 years in the bottle.
  The wine has already a light red almost copper color. The nose is mature, but beautiful and complex. Aromas of autumn forest floor mixed with sweet red fruit, earth, smoke and a touch of spice seduce you instantly. At least that’s how I felt. The wine is very youthful in the mouth, medium bodied, with integrated tannins, smoothly textured and elegant, it exhibits sweet red fruit, cedar, vanilla and earth on the palate. Perfect integration of the oak and a really nice mouth-feel. The finish is a bit sweet with good freshness. The wine has an amazing drinkability and surprises with its elegance and its intense aromas. Rioja at its best that can go so well with food. (92-93/100)
