Nose: On this bottle there was a little dusty quality and less Rioja funk. Palate: Consistant with my last notes, but the fruit seems a little more pronounced and rounder. Last bottle was fine but this one shows much better.

Nose: Typical Rioja funk with a little briny quality. Palate: Firm acid present up front with cherry undertones. A simple but pleasant wine that is good with food and a decent value if purchased on sale.

This might be the best value I've ever had. The nose is delicious with cedar oak, herbs, and sour red cherries. A good amout of tannins and acidity and a long finish. There are more cherris and dried herbs on the pallet. This is good wine. Very dry and good with tomato based pasta.

Very good wine for the price. Deep red, good aroma, tastes of earth, smoke, solid fruits, and a little spice. Of course the typical Rioja sweat too.

Disappointing. Had a strong taste of sweat.
