  March 1, 2024 - A long time favorite Rioja. Sad seeing the price jump up nearly 25$ in two years. Nose of red cherry, leather and oak. Palate has cherry, vanilla, leather, cloves and nutmeg. Medium finish and smooth tannins. This can age for a while still. At the current price headed near 100$ in some areas, I will be looking for other Riojas like Muga Prado Enea and LRA 904 which are better in that price range in my opinion.

  February 18, 2024 - Fruity with some complexity and limited depth. Slightly overpriced to my view.

  January 19, 2024 - Others have already described the characters of this wine really well, nothing more to add from my side. I could not help myself so opened a 2015 bottle...and WOW!!! Already this good, there is potential in this wine for sure. The other 2015 bottle and the 2011 bottle in my cellar, I will definitely keep for ageing...and buy a couple more. 😉
