Had older vintages, the ‘07 was released in late 2015, great but still has time to bottle age. Decant 2 hours before drinking. Tempranillo with about 15% Mazuelo (Cariñena), concentrated bouquet of berry fruits with spice. On the palate cherry and plum flavors, well balanced for a difficult vintage. Lingering, crisp and focused, tight tannins ending with a mineral character and earthy tones, a traditional Rioja. Stock up on the ‘07, there is no ‘08, but ‘09, ‘10 & ‘11 will be released Wow! 900 cases US!

Another 4th Friday for the books! What a variety this month! Rioja wines have become my second love after Napa cabs. I swoon over these. The nose on a well made Rioja is enough to make me only smell from the glass and not even taste! This was no different. Sweet Coconut & dill on the nose with a peppery, tobacco, black cherry palate. Delicious.

Plum, eucalyptus and tobacco on the nose. Also got raspberry, plum and hints of raisin on the palate. A very tasty wine!

Combination of red fruit, eucalyptus and earth. This wine is still too young - simply amazing!
