Tim Atkin 94/100
Lively, clean, medium depth, garnet red with an incipient pink rim. Intense
aromas with outstanding notes of redcurrants, raspberries, wild blackberries
and ripe red plums creating a complex bouquet together with the balsamic
notes from the barrel: vanilla, cloves, coffee, caramel and brioche. Very tasty in
the mouth, evincing the brand's distinctive classic texture. Fresh, vibrant and
well-balanced, with amiable sweet tannins. Its long stay in the bottle rewards
us with that great complexity and elegance typical of this style of Rioja wines.
To enjoy now, but with a long life ahead.
