Vintage 2017 | I am fond of frivolous young Rioja, but seldom recognize them blind. To be honest, that frivolity and some raspberry in smell made me think: a Cru de Beaujolais. But this Rioja has its own qualities. Some cacao in taste, tannins still, good balance. Have to drink more of it to recognize. — 5 days ago

Vintage 2018 | laurel black fruit minerals still some tannins and a sweet touch that is predictive to recognize Zinfandel. A lot of discussion in our tasting group: love or hate? I tend to judge mildly. — 5 days ago
