JS James Suckling: 93 Points
Ripe and sweet dark plums, blackberries and blueberries with a hint of dark-spice and cocoa-powder savoriness. A succulent, fine Rioja with fine-grained tannins that spread evenly across the medium-to full-bodied palate. Traditional, but bright and vibrant, showing potential for aging.
WE Wine Enthusiast: 92 Points
This dark ruby-colored wine offers aromas of Luxardo cherry and toasted baking spices. It is very spicy at first sip as flavors of clove and mint leaf with a touch of black pepper hit the taste buds, followed by blackberry, cherry and raspberry flavors. Muscular tannins are balanced out by well-integrated acidity that stays around for a while.
