La Rioja, Spain
One of the best Tempranillos I’ve had. A bit of smokiness, rich red fruits and a hint of spice. Seamless light oak and long finish. Organically farmed.

Deep Ruby with aromas of juicy berry fruits and floral notes. On the palate flavors of ripe blackberry and cherry flavors, elegant, with spice & smoky notes on full tannins. Long finish, nice mouthfeel, ending with mineral earthy tones, a joy to Sip!! Tasting great, has more aging potential.

Brooding, rich, powerful, and still in infancy.

The afternoon sun. This what "la poza" means. Full bodied, powerful and great in the magnum bottle

A second tasting of this Rioja after a 2 year gap. While I thoroughly enjoyed it last time I've nudged my score up just a touch as it was even better than I remembered. Maybe the extra time in bottle has helped or it was the hour in the decanter, or perhaps a bit of both. The tannins felt much smoother this time so this is one which benefits from some patience while it opens up over a couple of hours.

Jun 12th, 2016While there was nothing wrong with this bruiser, it just wasn't my thing. A lot of others would have rated this higher. Opened up to a lot of wood but some fruit and graphite showed after 30 mins. Be interesting to see this in 5 years.

blind taken first impression was syrah-esk, herbal driven with a mint and menthol tendency, old world. no rhône wine, though.
aerated still herbal yet less aetheric, black fruit, blueberry compot. licorice, bit of rubber, chocolate cream, smooth power. super complex! wow!
(no vanilla, no coconut )
single vineyard rioja one has to understand.
