Vintage 2010 / we drank a glass in the evening, and now for sunday’s lunch, so with hours aeration. Só much fruit in smell, a real good balance, elegance and refinement. / Paired with venison, small potatoes, chanterelles and snow peas

Blend of Tempranillo (85%), Graciano (10%) and Mazuelo (5%) that has hit its peak. Medium ruby color. Complex aromas of ripe red and black fruit, leather and a bevy of spices. Black cherry and tobacco flavors with nice notes of vanilla and black pepper. Just a hint of balsamic vinegar on the long and lingering finish. Velvety tannins. Medium-plus body and excellent balance. Outstanding quality for the price.

Smooth, soft and warming Rioja. Went well with braised veal cheeks over radicchio risotto.

The nose is very inspiring elegant confi aroma. The taste includes cherry confi as well as mild skin. We'll balanced tannins. In that after taste comes the taste of the terroire. Very elegant and fine wine that gives pleasure. Typical high class Rioja.
