Deep Ruby with an interesting blend of 7 grapes (3 white included!), berry fruit and floral aromas. On the palate ripe blackberry and bluebrrry with citrus and floral notes adding spice and some toasty oak. Long finish, good balance ending with some leather, cacao and spice.

Slightly hazy garnet in the glass. Abundant, bosomy nose of black cherry and cigar box. Full-bodied, juicy palate of black cherry, cured tobacco, and balsamic all supported by sturdy medium-plus tannins and medium acidity. Wow! This is what Rioja should be all of the time! Holding up incredibly well 17 years on and seems to still have maybe another five years (at least) left. Steak and game seem like naturals, but don’t miss out on pairing with Southwestern cuisine.

(Last week) Sorry but I have no words for this. Dare I say that this is probably the very best wine I have tasted in years. Beautiful and perfect example of Rioja Tempranillo and granache and maturana and graciano and 3 rioja whites. It was interesting to taste the difference between top and bottom of the bottle.

Vino de capa media en nariz frutas rojas y las variedades blancas le dan un toque floral y mentolados. En boca de paso ligero pero con poca fuerza y final con una acidez diferente.

This wine is just plain cool! Made with all seven indigenous grapes of Rioja. Oaky? Yes! But, in a good way.

It is a great wine, intense with dark chocolate, spices, dark fruit and tamed tannins. Old world but Rioja is not an easy guess here and there is a low tone of Brett. Much prefered the 01 and 04. Still very good

Mörk frukt, ek vanilj och dill, ursprungstypiskt.
