February 9, 2023 - Cherry, tobacco, leather, vanilla, some chocolate after a while, strong oak presence. Very enjoyable at first, became muted after a couple hours and then reopened later. Good Rioja, happy to have tried it but I will not be buying it again

July 10, 2022 - Today, better than ever. Raspberry, plum and red currant, plus cigar box and spice. Good concentration, very elegant and polished style. Perfectly balanced. Definitely fruit-dominated. Long and elegant finish. What a great value!

March 31, 2021 - A terrific value. Beautiful Tempranillo nose, raspberry, plum and red currant, plus cigar box and spice. Good concentration, very elegant and polished style. Perfectly balanced. Definitely fruit-dominated, not the typical, overly woodsy Gran Reserva. Long and elegant finish. Now at the beginning of a long drinking window.

March 21, 2021 - This is good stuff, very well-rounded and plump, the fruit is ripe but not overripe, plenty of plums and sort of dusty raspberry, with none of the spicy oaky flavours I anticipated. Tastes like it came from a much cooler climate. Excellent value.
