The new American oak really shines through despite French and Slovenian wood influences, fairly round and fruity for a riserva

Great tempernillo. Lot of American Oak. Soft tannins for its age. Drinking well.

This a very modern Rioja Reserva, rich and powerful. Deep red in color almost black, lovely nose, black current, black cherries, vanilla, cedar wood, prunes and coffee, full body, round rich and smooth with lively acidity and well balanced tannins, long chewy finish. A true surprise as in the past this wine needed a longer cellaring period to be approachable. My score 88, drink to 2020.

Smokey grilled meats and a Worcester sauce quality on the nose. Mid dark fruits, tar quality, irony minerals, smoke, grilled meats, crushed rocks with a dry finish.

Σιγμα Δελτα

бальзамик, кислая вишня, апельсин, ржаная корочка, красная слива, отголоски бочки. чуть смазано в структуре, хотя все же неглупо и уверенно.
