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