Intense aroma of tobacco and mocha with dark cherries and prunes. The mouthfeel is quite mellow and full bodied. Medium + tannins have mellowed nicely but they're still alive. Medium acidity. Taste follows the nose with just a little addition of raspberry and dark chocolate. Aftertaste is well balanced and long.

(over)rijp zwart fruit, koffiesnoepjes (mokka), vanille en kruiden in de neus. Stevige karaktervolle smaak met fluweelzachte aanzet met zwart fruit met donkere chocolade en koffie met stevige licht bittere taninnes. Langdurige stevige nasmaak met aardetonen, paddestoelen en laurier. Duidelijk een ander karakter dan de gran reserva. Kan nog een jaar of wat liggen voor meer balans.

Well made modern Rioja, 14%, massive looking, full body here!. Intense open nose french oak, ripe red fruits. smooth palate, more oak over more ripe fruit. dry with little tannin and moderate length. good wine when your in the right mood.

We liked this wine quite a bit. Medium to full bodied, nice dark fruits and very soft. Only had this single bottle. Wish I had more!

Very oaky, full bodied with nice tannins. Good but not great.
