Dark and brooding blue fruit with sour cherry and a hint of Esther and Harrogate. Gorgeously intense fruit but soft and approachable. Still young but gorgeously pure and bright.

18.5/20 (96/100)

Цвет рубиновый, не слишком темный. Легкая лакокраска, красные ягоды, клюква, брусника, ваниль, теплое дерево, сладкий табак, гранит, камень, сладкая вишня. Кожа, замша. Вкус очень полный, ягоды, кожа, табак, высокая кислотность, очень свежее, без признаков усталости, глубокое, отличное. Немного карамели. Акцентированные танины.

On its way to being tired. Slightly reductive, eucalyptus notes; strong cherry and dillish flavors.

Super traditional style Rioja with American oak from the 90s. Mellow soft, grassy nutty fragrance and that caramel flavor from American oak. Oh so delicious

Tremendous--elegant, with the stuffing and acidity to last decades more. Brambly dark fruit aromas, well integrated American oak flavors with intense cassis and berry
