The Story

Variety: 100% Tempranillo

The estate is composed of 110 hectares of clay-limestone soil in the heart of the Rioja Alta wine region.

Written Notes

Good looking normal size bottle and in an perfect condition. Colour is cherry red, and looking clear and full. On the nose it is mature, complex and cooked. The taste is round, elegant, and dry, warming, with medium tannin, with sweet tannins, and high in acidity, medium-bodied, with well-structured structure and developing. On the palate it is layered and has new-oak, earthy, balsamic, mineral, pepper and cherry flavours. The finish is long and gentle. This wine is fine. I paid around 50-100€ a bottle. Perfectly stored bottles are still very worthy and will last well for another 5-10€ years, decant at least 30min before tasting and this is not a good invest wine. Too expensive for quality. I do not recommend it.
