90 Points
Thursday, January 9, 2014 - It hits the palate immediately with sweet spicy note with a sharp bite but no significant on tongue. It ends pleasantly without heavy prolonged finish.
No need to aerate and can drink anytime.
I was drinking and comparing it w muga 2009 reserva and and muriel 2008 crianza, it seems that im now focused on exploring alta ardanza of good years.
Pulpo al ajillo and chorizo works well with it.
Paprika spicy chorizo hits palate immediately, no wonder it blended well.

Be cautious with that exploration please.
Rioja abuse becomes an addiction...
Cheers!

Enjoy the fresh red fruit and crispy acidity, all a fair price.
If you can, let your bottles lay down for a while. Great rewards are waiting, even for minor bodegas.
Cheers!
