Eguren Ugate’s attempt at reviving a historical variety from Rioja, maturana. Fresh, intense wine hitting with black fruit l, a little spiciness. Sharp tannins indicate some aging would help. Really pleasant wine. — 6 years ago

Needs a day or very thorough decanting to show best. Sour cherry, berry stem and a touch of Indian spices on the nose. Sour, almost limoncello like initially on the tongue, followed by stone fruit and a touch of rosemary. The limoncello and rosemary give it a sense of heat, although it's only 13.5abv. This is chorizo and olives' natural tango partner. — 6 years ago

Cognac nose, with raisiny spicy scents. Vibrant youthful berries on the palate, even after decanting. Visually display of aging in the oranging of the color. A best buy for aging wines and showcasing the region’s elegance. — 2 years ago

Very dry and acidic. Full of flavor with rich complexity, leading with blackberries and ending with coffee, oak and caramel. Best with red meat or other heavy food to cut through the acidity. — 5 years ago
