Stunning wine and still young. Perfect balance between fruit, earth, acid and tannin. Improved over the course of the birthday meal. Only reason it’s not a ten is that nothing is perfect. Beautiful and delicious. One more in the cellar. — a month ago

16/20 (89/100) Свежий аромат спелых чёрных ягод, шоколада и пряностей. Тельное с высокой кислотностью и интенсивными, обволакивающими танинами. Насыщенное, высокоэкстрактивное вино. — 7 months ago

Amazing nose of peaches at first, honeysuckle, then the dark berries (plums, ripe cherries), scrubherbs, gentle oak. Volume, good moment of consumption for this 2001. It shows it all, the tannins are easy as silk, the length is outstanding. The real deal, grab the 2001 if you can. — 6 months ago

Singing. Nose of the deepest red cherries, iron ore, bay leaves, pink peppercorn, raisins, leather and the smell of the desert. Very suave palate— weightless yet substantial, sweet and tart in the right measures, with a resonant finish. Perfect marriage between modern and traditional rioja, perfect age on the bottle. — 8 months ago

Really well made, I did not enjoy the 11 as much as I loved this one. Ripe cherries wrapped in tobacco and local spices (rosemary, fennel). Great tannins and length. Congrats (a competitor to Roda, my homeground, and a good solid one). — 4 years ago
