  Easy drinking wine. Ruby color with slight orange rim. Hints of vanilla hints of cherry and blackberries. Soft tannins. Playful in my mouth. Medium dry. Medium alcohol. Drank with a ribeye and paired well. Would pick up another bottle or two.

  Tasted blind. Medium (+) ruby with some garnet. The nose has dry black fruit, leather, subtle oak spice overlay. The palate is dry, with medium acidity, medium (+) tannins and alcohol. A nicely made wine, this is true to character and quite pleasing. It was awarded a Gold and Class Champion at the 2016 Houston Rodeo Uncorked International Wine Competition. Drinking well now, but likely to continue to show well for several more years.

  Me gustó y mucho para lo que me costó. Menos de 6 euros.
  
  Tempranillo y garnacha, no se los porcentajes pero me encantó el perfil.
  
  Muy clasico sin abusar de la madera. Templado y asentado ya, la añada ayuda.
  
  Fruta negra, muy especiado, fresco con mondadura de naranja y un toque muy riojano de musgo. Casi otoñal para ser un crianza tan joven. Setas.
  
  Muy cremoso y fresco en la boca, placentero y con personalidad.
  
  La garnacha le da una viveza tremenda. Diría yo.
