"This year he used a lot of Valdepoleo grapes (he doesn't buy grapes but doesn't want to sell them either) so the wine has more character. It's generally a straighter wine with more freshness, coming from a clay-rich vineyard; but here, the aromas are fresher and more floral. The palate is lively, refined, and flavorful. A fine demonstration of this wine." (Wine Advocate 2016 - Robert Parker)

About wine:
Hado 2014 aims to showcase the freshness and typical characteristics of Tempranillo in the Laguardia area of Rioja, where Pujanza's vineyards are located. 2014 was an early and hot vintage, and the grapes come from several Pujanza plots in Laguardia. The wine is fermented in stainless steel tanks and aged in French oak barrels for one year. This year, he used a lot of grapes from Valdepoleo (he doesn't buy grapes but doesn't want to sell them either), so the wine has more character. It is generally a straighter wine with more freshness, coming from a vineyard rich in clay; but here, the aromas are fresher and more floral. The palate is lively, fine, and flavorful. A beautiful demonstration for this wine.

Exactly the kind of wines I like, but which may not appeal to those who don't like "Parkerized" wines. Very present from the first drop, with an aggressiveness that I love, a battle with my tongue, my palate, my cheeks: a wine that fights back!

At first I found it mediocre, but after a year of aging in my cellar it improved and all the guests found it excellent.

Review and opinion by Mr. STEPHANE K. Published on 02/25/2017
Very good description of the wine on the website. It's all there, I would add a fairly pronounced sweetness, even if the wine's pleasant acidity refreshes it all. Very enjoyable with a nice pizza, for example. It's not a great wine, but it's a quality wine, honest and straightforward.
