This 2013 is full of explossive red fruits, vanilla, spices, leather, chocolate, tobaco! Love it!

I love how they made a Rioja that doesn't fit in the aging qualification of the DOC to make a great every day quality wine.
A very clean pallate with cherry hints and sutil vanilla. Wonderful fruit!

That's a fun wine! Blackberry and cherry on the nose, olive, it could well be a grenache. The palate is very well made and balanced. Strong acid backbone, great width and weight on the sides, silky mouthfeel, huge tannic wall in mid palate before a very long blackberry palate. Nice one! An exelole of rioja without oak, and that works well!

Perfect. Did not require food to make it delicious. Not a big flavour profile, but super clean, great finish, excellent balance.
