Notes: Robert Parker 90/100, Wine Spectator 90/100 &'Smart Buy of the Month' April 2008
"Fresh, taut, and long. This balanced red offers crisp aromas of cherry, cola, vanilla, and fresh herbs, carried by beautiful tannins that lead to a spicy, floral finish" (Wine Spectator March/April 2008). A high-class Rioja and unquestionably good value!

Eye
deep, intense cherry red with pink highlights, clear and bright
Nose
Beautiful aromatic intensity, complex and deep, with many nuances of cocoa, berries, and tobacco, supported by ripe fruit aromas. An open, mineral wine with a hint of balsamic, over a delicate woodiness.
Mouth
An attack of ripe berries, combining jammy and plum notes. The finish is delicate with aromas of licorice.
