Plum, pencil lead, cinnamon, clove, cooked blueberries, rhubarb pie, oak, cedar, with some tertiary notes of raisins and mushrooms. High tannins, medium plus acid, medium plus finish, and high alcohol. If you like bright fruity wines, this isn’t it. Rather, it is an interesting rustic wine that I’d pair with Italian sausage, pot roast, and smoked ribs. Drink now. I don’t think it would benefit from aging. — 2 months ago

Fantastic Crianza. I did not expect the complex flavours shown here in a Crianza. Perfect way to finish the evening. — 8 years ago

This is an almost extinct grape varietal native to Rioja pre phylloxera, recuperated by the efforts at Viña Ijalba. Intense aromas of dark fruit, soft on the palate with concentrated fruit, best with anything of the grill but ideal with smoked meats. — 7 months ago

Smooth, rich, a river of chocolate and luscious fruit. Not too sweet, just enough tang to bring it around town. — 10 years ago

Stony taste with lots of minerality. Citrus flavor. Literally the only maturana Blanca in the world, grown on two hectares owned by ljalba. A very obscure wine you can geek out on! — 10 years ago
