2012 drinking in 2025. Still has a few years in it. Superbly reliable vineyard, with a great history of great wines. Cherries, blackberry, earthy notes and some light oak. Similar in the mouth though a bit thinner than I would have imagined. Really superb classic rioja bought in 2019 at a great price in the UK

Aged nicely at this point. Mellowed out tannins, well integrated dried fruit. Balanced.

12 years old, but still seems like it has a few years left until it’s peak.
Great house. Great wine.

Clove, plum, menthol, raisin and tar. Ripe but so pure and full of sun. Deep fruited with a substantial body. Dried damson plum, a light touch of cocoa powder. Great acid. Absolutely a top producer and overlooked.
