Fantastic nose with almost a Burgundy soul (97 was very wet). Well handled oak, complexity, acidity and elegance

Gave off a lot of brett at first....then that subsided and Blue and Black fruits spread out on the palette, followed by cherry pipe tobacco and sweet fig. Fantastic slow aging value Rioja.

I just straight up love this stuff. Every time. Young and still a bit brooding but a deft delivery of balance and power.

Maturing nicely. Would rate higher but couldn't shake bitter espresso character...these wines are certainly marked more by oak than other traditional houses imho

So reminiscent of Barolo or Burgundy, but with that wild/spicyTempranillo tone. Love mature Rioja
