  Well balanced. Oak, ripe fruit, spice, very decent representation.
  Pleasant from the nose to the soft tannins and medium finish. Might have another year or two but if I had more I would drink them soon.

  This wasn't my style at all. Tons of oak (French oak for a change in Rioja), extremely amorphous (could have been from anywhere and any varietal), quite in the modern style, plush, and rich. No 'somewhereness' or typicity here (C-).

  Caceras Cuvee Esp. 100% Tempranillo, matured in oak for 14 months and another 12 months in bottle. Tasting: ruby red color; black fruit and vanilla with little spice in mouth, overall good but on the middle between fresh and matured, french style but elegant.

  A very modern expression from Cacares. Lots of concentration, medium/- tannin.
