September 19, 2021 - Nose better than in the mouth. Nothing wrong, just undistinguished.

June 27, 2021 - Much more integrated over a year ago. A bit too generic for a good Rioja. Fruit-forward, medium bodied wine. Better with food.

July 29, 2020 - agree with others -- funky at the start. By the second night it was a much better wine. The score reflects that experience. Hard to rate this one, though. Have some more bottles...

December 15, 2015 - Some crazy funk the first day - set it aside for 2 days and it was drinking much smoother, with rounded fruit and no funk. Funny wine - would only buy again for when I had the patience to leave it open for a couple days...

November 4, 2014 - Initially opens promisingly with intense cedar and bramble berries. Strangely moves in a feral chicken-coop direction with air. Kind of like a low/mid range Mourvedre, funky without complexity or finesse. Not unbalanced on the palate, but somewhat flat. A real tooth stainer despite having moderate tannic structure. A bit over-worked perhaps?
