This 100% Tempranillo from Rioja, is elegant, balanced and enjoyable by itself. Spicy and tangy, and good paired with chicken dishes, Spanish tapas, or hard cheeses.

You got the funk. Coconut, red berry, dust.

Without doubt, one of the best.. Especially in magnum :-)

Beautiful, well-priced Rioja - easy drinking, with nice hints of dark fruits.

Very tasty, slightly cold red wine from Spain. Light red that can be drank casually.

Drank at Baigorri winery during ‘Baigorri menu tasting’ on 31st July 2018.
Dark red, purple rim. Tannins and mahogany aromas. Astringent on the mouth, softens immediately into long lasting wood and spices.

Pretty excellent. Good value at 25, but the muriel was better value. For a crianza this is a heavier tempranillo, with black currant, earth, spice, fair amount of oak, but after 30 mins oak diminishes. Tannins are smooth, and wine is low acid.
