a fine example of new world style wine making. This wine wine after being allowed to mature in bottle and decanted was excellent. Strong floral aromas on the nose, with balanced tannins and acidity allow you to pick out the different varietals for a fun in depth exercise or you can simply enjoy this wine for what it is; a full bodied, well balanced wine with a great finish

Strong notes of dried red fruit, baking spices and pepper on the nose. High acid and tanin leave this wine slightly unbalanced. Not a bad wine, but rioja has much better wines at similar price. — 6 years ago
