Short sour taste with fruity long finish. Little tannis and good as is — 5 years ago
Dark cherry, leather, menthol, cinnamon, and oak on the nose. More dark cherry, cinnamon, leather, and oak on the palate along with raspberry, plum, cola, cocoa, aniseed, eucalyptus, and green pepper. Medium tannin, medium alcohol, high acid, and medium plus finish. As with most riojas, punching well above its price point. — 2 years ago

Very pretty, on its last leg but still kicking — 2 years ago
What a surprise this was after the flight of hardhitters. Nice finesse and overall balance. Well made Rioja for 6€!? How is it possible? — 6 years ago

It took me 10 minutes to remove the cork but I was able to extract it largely intact…and it was gnarly. Completely saturated. In fact, it oozed the moment I pierced the cork with the worm. A producer I have no previous experience so no context. The color is garnet/orange with all the sediment and opaque as a result. So much earth, mushrooms, teriyaki, toasted coconut, wood, nuts and leather but there is fruit there too! Desiccated red and dark fruits; deep and dark. There’s tannin, still but it all integrated. The acid is a gorgeous girdle. The finish is long, mature and complex. Drink now? But considering it’s lived this long, it will probably continue to last. For how long? Who knows. A lovely surprise.
