A drive by ‘gift’ from a neighbor along with the decanter as we picnicked at Sunset from home. This bottle, to start off, is built like a tank & is the heaviest bottle of any wine I’ve ever drunk, ever. The wine, incidentally, is to my tastes of the more modern thrust in Rioja, which is to say more wood and big- 14.5% in fact. Still quite light & balanced though. T Edwards Importer

Honestly, Spanish wine is not my favorite, but I like this sexy Rioja. Beautiful dark ruby red color with very nice aromas of ripe & dried dark fruits, cinnamon, sweet basil, and cedar wood on the nose. Full-bodied coupled with savoury taste of ripe blackberry, raisin, vanilla cake, and mild sweet herbs on the palate. Powerful texture, smooth & sticky tannins, but a bit short on the finish.
