April 8, 2024 - (1/3). Deep ruby hinting purple. Smells like cassis, blueberry, graphite, plum, and cedar. Medium body and acid, fairly long finish here, and flavors of the same darker fruits, lemon, minerals, and spice. Very smooth and luscious on the palate. Well made. Drinking well now, but seems like not a huge rush either. Solid.

May 5, 2023 - Great Rioja! Pretty near perfection, but as most Riojas, it would have been fine staying in the cellar.
The wine looks purple colored. The legs are slow. There is moderate sediment in the bottle. It tastes like forest floor, plum and black currant (cassis).1 person found this helpful Comments (1) -

March 10, 2023 - Light body spicy tanins. Pizza night and Ceaser salad and pasta with pancetta. Decanted and opened up with second glass and some aeration. Short finish…pleasant
