Sweet but mellow vanilla & cedar nose, red berry fruit with a dusting of icing sugar. Palate has succulent acidity, plush tannin with ripe, juicy summer berry fruits, slightly drying on the finish bit overall impression is of sweet red fruits and vanilla, decent length, great value Rioja from a top producer (& merchant)

Really enjoyable, short nose, fully berry belly and a long pleasing finish. I will buy it again.

Nose: clean, pronounced intensity. Strong oak, red cherries. Palate: medium acidity and body, low tannins. Still hints of oak and red cherries, plum. Overall good with decent finish
