Robert Parker

"Predicador 2015 combines maturity with freshness and power, all with elegance— , in a modern, refined style characteristic of Benjamin Romeo. This cuvée has been crafted over time, year after year, and beautifully represents the winery’s style at an affordable price. It is a blend of Rioja red grape varieties—Tempranillo, Garnacha, Graciano, and Mazuelo—from various vineyards, fermented in small wooden vats with native yeasts and aged in French oak barrels for 16 months.” (Wine Advocate 2018 - Robert Parker)

A very distinctive Rioja. Round on the palate, with well-integrated oak and a silky finish. 17 to 17+/20

I was expecting much better. It's not worth €20. For the same price, you can find much better Riojas...
