Amazing nose of peaches at first, honeysuckle, then the dark berries (plums, ripe cherries), scrubherbs, gentle oak. Volume, good moment of consumption for this 2001. It shows it all, the tannins are easy as silk, the length is outstanding. The real deal, grab the 2001 if you can.

I think I have written on this one before. very few times in my life has a wine taken my breath away like this one. It was a great feeling to know that such events can still happen. Maybe it was the fact that we were in Rioja Alavesa in the first place, but it was something more. First off, the color and texture are perfect. Deep dark violet and a thick silky swirl. Then the nose only hints at the wonder to come. Once it hits your tongue, it is like a velvet glove as it rolls across and touched all corners of your senses. Fruit, sweet tanin, fruit again and a long smooth finish. Nicely done! I have packed my suitcase with a few bottles and now I’m back in the states, trying to find the importer.

Jul 6th, 2019The addition of Graciano has pushed the freshness of Cirsion in an amazing way. Drunk too young, yet approachable. Red, dark fruit, violets, dark cherries, honeysuckle. Looooooong finish

HI IAN!! Their biggest, "blackest" (really) Rioja, removed from regular aging classification. Developed quite nicely, still a bevy of fruit with some medicinal eucalyptus notes but mellowed and layered

Loads of black fruit and coffee. Heaps of new oak. Drunk too young yet enjoyable.
