December 1, 2023 - i liked this but not as much as i wanted to - maybe more for what it has the potential to be. nose was very engaging straight away... pungent, earthy, stewed fruit, perhaps almost more like a super tuscan. palate was notably sweeter than i'd expected, weightier too. spices, lots of acidity and tannin. my sense is this needs another several years on its side. have high hopes this has the stuffing to be great in the future.

August 22, 2023 - Initial aroma, loamy, distant campfire.
Tight, reserved, acidic on the palate.
I fear this one is too young. Will hold other bottle for at least 5 more years.
2nd day, no change with air exposure
4th day best. Finally became a great wine, muted chocolate coming out while still maintaining acidity, nice complexity. Upping rating1 person found this helpful Comment -

July 20, 2023 - 94 Un vino importante. Enterisimo, con un precioso color rubí intenso. Nariz elegante, madera fina, mucha fruta roja y negra. En boca es un vino muy equilibrado, con una acidez imponente y con mucha fruta. Un magnífico vino, que evolucionará perfectamente por muchos años más.

July 8, 2023 - Fabulous wine. This is a beautiful Rioja ready to drink now. Plums, coffee notes, earthy on the nose. Tannins are fairly integrated. Had a bottle a few months back and it was great, continues to be great. One of my favorites right now.

April 10, 2023 - Great wine. A little lighter fruit than other Riojas with similar complex dry taste.
