Intense, deep cherry-red with a garnet-red rim. Intense & complex aromas, dominated by fruit (blackberry jam, raspberries & orange zest) that reveals underlying spicy & balsamic notes of cigar box, cedar liquorice, cloves, chocolate mints & toasted wood. Elegantly refined entry. Fresh & lively in the mouth, nicely balanced with polished, silky tannins & a gentle, delicate finish. Very long aftertaste, with citrus & balsamic notes that provide long, complex final sensations. ...

Medium-depth, cherry-red; clean & bright. Very intense to the nose, with a pleasant balsamic bouquet. Almonds, mint chocolate, vanilla & roasted coffee lead to notes of jammy fruit. Good, balanced structure in the mouth, with a pleasant acidity & very sweet, round tannins which provide a long, complex finish. Excellent to enjoy now, although it will continue rounding off its fine bouquet in the bottle over time. This vintage was officially rated as Excellent, which coincides with our assessment. After budbreak at the normal time of the year, moderate, well-distributed spring rains led to proper canopy development, which lasted until fruit set, helping to balance production. September temperatures were moderate during the day & cool at night, allowing the grapes to acquire the typical traits of this part of Rioja. Tempranillo (90%) & Graciano (10%) from vines over 40 years old in vineyards in Brias, Labastida & Villalba. ...

Bright & lively deep cherry red with a pinkish rim. Intense on the nose, with aromas of ripe red berries (strawberries & blackberries) & roasted coffee & caramel balsamic notes. Good structured & well-balanced on the palate, with sweet tannins that led to a fresh & lingering finish.

Smooth, polished red colour typical of classic Riojas. Clean & bright in the glass, with light orange notes on the rim.

Small game casseroles & char-grilled meats. ...

A very deep ruby colour, with black reflections. Intense nose, first with the freshness of cedar, eucalyptus & vanilla. Then with notes of white chocolate & mocha, blending with liquorice & kirsch flavours. At first, full medium-bodied, that carries on with fleshy & powerful sensation. Acidity is well balanced, with signs of ripped tannins & flavours. Finally, a long aftertaste of molasses & cherry. ...

Dark ruby colour with raspberry reflections. First blueberries & raspberries intense notes with a delicate touch of a flower. Then a blend of toasted oak & grilled meat flavours. Silky & soft mouthfeel, which then reveals a very pleasant wine. ...
