Tasting Notes

This is very tannic with orange peel and a hint of dark berry fruit. Full to medium body, and ultra-fine-grained texture. Very long and spicy. Fresh undertone. This is the first release and shows a new style from the owners of Rioja Alta. Real freshness.

Score: 93

James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com 24 July 2017

The vines in this small two-hectare plot, made as a separate wine for the first time in 2012, are all over 100 years’ old. The result is a wine with impressive focus and concentration, dense black fruits, refreshing acidity and the texture to integrate the 100% new French oak.

Score: 94
