  September 25, 2015 - A traditional beefy, earthy, rounded and tasty Rioja reserva with some pronounced, singular almost pickled acidity on the medium bodied lush, earthy fruity palate . This is maybe a fault. Has a sculpted earthy fruity medium zingy finish. A couple of points taken off.

  September 28, 2013 - Really liked it. Very well rounded, some herbal flavors, dark chocolate and a nice finish. Not a big wine neither very complex, but it comes together very nicely with no flaws at all. Opened to bottles at dinner and both were very consistent. Great value as well.

  November 18, 2011 - Good – clean dark ruby / purple appearance; fruit and oakiness on nose; off-dry; low/mid acidity; full body; mid tannins; mid length finish; surprisingly soft; slightly mouth drying finish; dark fruits; vanilla; oak – not that well integrated yet; quite alcoholic; had with veal escalopes – was advertised in restaurant as Gran Reserva but when it arrived was the Reserva – no price reduction !!

  March 3, 2011 - (From ½ bottlel) No formal notes, but I liked it a lot. Quite elegant. Ready to drink if decanted for a couple of hours, but will improve for several years.
