September 24, 2021 - Deep garnet colour. Medium nose with ripe red plum, ripe black cherry, prune, vanilla, leather, black pepper, tobacco and violet. Medium taste of ripe red plum, ripe black cherry, prune, leather, tobacco, smoke, black pepper and potting soil. Medium long and dry finish. Medium acidity. Medium tannins. Medium body. A very good Rioja Gran Reserva that is peaking. Needed 15 min in the glass to open. Drink now, at peak. Goes well with beef or lamb.

September 15, 2019 - Mørk rødlilla, ikke helt klar. Lukt av mørke bær med litt vanilje. Kraftig anslag. Smak dominert av mørke bær. Relativ lang. Velbalansert og eventuelle tanniner er god integrert.

April 21, 2018 - Har utviklet seg meget godt i kjelleren. Dyp rød i fargen og lukt av mørke bær og eik. Sterke tanniner med litt sødme gjorde den perfekt til BBQ biff og sommerkoteletter fra grillen.
