A gorgeous and opulent wine. Has aromas of truffles, leather, figs, raspberries, cedar and liquorecy undertones. Its medium bodied lushly fruited palate has very good concentration, a beautifully complex oaky cigary fruity mesh on the opulent middle. Ends freshly fruited, longish, zingy and lightly austere. A faceted wine. Drink up!

Still a little oaky but developing nicely and with time perhaps another point. Nice mouth feel and acidity and great with pork chops and roasted red peppers.

Nice Rioja.. Not too heavy. Somewhat spicy and dry. Smell of tar and dried fruit.

This wine is on its way back. Still the nice acid and vanilla but a little thin on the palate. Drink now.

Really fruity and forward Rioja - more of a modern style. Very - unusually - soft tannins. Remarkable VFM
