Rich dark fruits, still huge structure here, this needs further significant cellaring (10+ more years), long, lingering finish, very fine!! — 4 months ago

THIS IS NOT TEMPRANILLO. This is #mazuela #mazuelo from a #singlevineyard. One of the best #carignane ever. Tart. Red fruit. #riojabaja #riojaoriental #rioja — a year ago

Blend of Garnacha and Mazuela (Carignan). Dark ruby color. Fresh dark berries and plums on the nose. Pallet is more red fruit based (raspberry, red plum and red currents). Note of beef jerky and iodine on the long and consistent finish. Quite juicy and bright but the rustic minerality balances this wine nicely. — 2 years ago

Great rioja for the price. Great flavors of vanilla and warm spice. Thin body but nice structure otherwise. Crisp for a rioja. — 7 months ago

9.3

On first opening, bouquet of black cherry and blackberries, Big Red cinnamon gum, bell pepper, and smoky bowling alley; palate of black cherry and plum, char, and black tea with a medium-short finish. On the second day the candy and bell pepper smells taper, bowling alley becomes more of a whiff of pipe smoke, blackberry bramble emerges with spent firecrackers; on the palate the black pepper spice has some herbs de provence, black tea tannins are rounder and the cherry flavor more tart, a fuller body on the finish with notes of char, meat fats, and pepperoni spices. Was gonna go with 89 but it’s impressive once you decant for a day. — 2 years ago
