Notes from critics

This Rioja is a great value offering from one of the oldest producers in Spain. Loads of ripe dark fruits, chocolate, tobacco, and hints of dried herbs, with a touch of spice that lingers with that long luscious finish.

This deep-violet-colored wine has aromas of cassis, milk chocolate and geranium leaf. Strapping tannins provide a backdrop for menthol, clove, blackberry-jam, violet and dark-chocolate flavors that culminate in a chewy finish marked with notes of butterscotch and thyme.

Vanilla, incense and pine cones on top of the dark cherries and plums on the nose. Youthful and pretty flavorful on the medium- to full-bodied palate with plenty of oak tannins that will need a few years to unwind and soften. Hint of tobacco savoriness loom in the lengthy, spicy finish.
