Latest vintage 2013: quite savoury, smoky and crushed black pepper. Heavily spiced style. Dry, very high in avidity, driving through more red fruit, cherries, plum, light in tannic grip. Spiced, oaky, smoky finish the black pepper and a distinct heat, almost chorizo-like on the finish. Decent, more aromatic than powerful, not for those who like the monster styles from Rioja. Elegant for Graciano!

(16.5/20) Насыщенный аромат крем де кассис, чернослива, настойки шиповника, шоколада, морёного дерева. Относительно высокая кислотность. Гладкие, замшевые танины. Тельное, насыщенное во вкусе: вишневое варенье, горький шоколад. Долгое послевкусие.

Sticking with my recent 93 point rating for this wine, which displays interesting aromas and flavors of blackberries, spice, tallow, and wet bark. Really good value, good with food.

Sacred Thirst tasting. The heart of the project. This was the first wine that Xabi produced in 2007. Good kick up front.
