Wow this is really an excellent Rioja. It is smooth, full-flavored but not overly oaked in any way, shape or form. it has come into its own and we wish we had purchased more bottles of the 2012!

Score was for drinking now/PNP. Materially better after 2 days open in the fridge - up to a 91 or 92 with better integration, and the classic leather, wood, and herbs of good rioja. Sorry not to have any more bottles, but this really needs another year or two to be at it's best.

Nice body and smooth wine but not as much fruit as I expected. Perhaps no longer at its best
