Decanted for an hour. Garnet with a pink rim. Aroma of violets, plum, cherry, cigar box, and chocolate. Palate is the same. Full body and velvety tannins. Excellent QPR.

Tons of mixed black fruits , dried Italian herbs , sour Cherry , muddled stewed fruits , & dark fresh plum. Medium bodied with a decent amount of Anerican oak vanilla , and oak spice. Well structured with acid , good tannins and dark somewhat bitter medium long finish. Satisfying but a bit disjointed to rave about. A blend with 10% ripe Graciano. Wine is more feminine than masculine.

Popped and poured. Nose of cherry, plum, toasted oak and dried herbs. Ripe black and red fruit, toasted oak, dried herbs and gripping tannins on the palate. Good persistence. Medium to full bodied. Served with ham steak.

A decent red wine that I opened initially to add wine to a pot roast. Although this is an average wine it is well made and improved after 3 days, losing nothing. Nice Rioja Crianza and don't have any complaints. On the softer side but nice. Would consider buying again.

★★★½ Vin et charcuteries Cher journal... En début de longue fin de semaine, quoi de mieux qu'un bon repas dans le bois sur le bord d'une rivière majestueuse? Ce vin se prête au jeu du bonheur et il nous procure le plaisir recherché. Enfin un peu de détente dans cette année complètement folle!

Delicious, but would benefit, I think, from some more aging. Less approachable than the $12 Montebuena Roja, but should soften a bit with more age. Remarkable for the price. I plan to buy more.

Solid ruby with a blast of Tempranillo aroma. A hint of cola, but also a bit flat on first sip. Passable cheapo weeknight red, improved slightly after 24 hours, but nothing worth going out of your way for in my humble opinion. Just kind of meh.

Blackberry & Raspberry with Earthy Pepper notes. Good balance with soft Tannins - Med finish with hint of Oak. A good Crianza at a value price.

Great for a casual meal. Powerful plum at first turning into thick black fruit with some smoke. Great quality for price.

🇪🇸 De cuerpo medio a ligero para un Crianza, aromas y sabores de intensidad media y conjunto equilibrado.
🇵🇹🇧🇷 Um Rioja simples e acessível ($).

Good red, a bit of acid finish, but goes well with aged cheese and some chorizo.
