    March 23, 2024 - Tempranillo (90%) from vines over 60 years old, complemented by Graciano (10%), destemmed and fermented in stainless steel tanks controlled temperature for 18 days. Aged 4 years in 4-year-old American oak barrels. Total acidity 5.9 g/l, alcohol 13.5% vol.

    Decanted 2h before dinner, but it still improved with more time. Superb intense nose, dark fruited, tar and ethereal, on the palate good freshness, dry and full bodied, good length with still some edges but not disruptive.

    Classic Reserva from a superb vintage, developed nicely within the last 30 months but requires still more cellaring time to peak. Drink now with a long decant or within the next 2 decades, 92-93+.

    March 17, 2024 - Ready to drink after a quick 30 minute decant, but it was still evolving after 5 hours. Beautiful floral bouquet with refined oak and dried cherries. Will continue to improve as it sits in the glass.

    March 16, 2024 - 3h dekantiert. Leicht erdige und ledrige nase aber auch dichter aromenmix aus dunkler und roter frucht.... klassischer rioja im mund - schöne frucht mit fein integrierter säure und etwas holz im abgang. Sehr seidiger trinkfluss. 92+

    March 16, 2024 - Spürbare Mufftöne, aber nicht der klassische Korker, leider nicht das erste Mal bei diesem Weingut

    February 18, 2024 - In the bouquet dark berries, licorice and well dosed oak. On the palate elegant and juicy with dark berries and good acidity and tannin. Beautiful wine in its early drinking stage. 92 – 93+ for now.
