A great white wine, big, yet balanced, with Rioja tipicity on the Viura, a smart use of oak and an ample acidity. Candlewax, Lemmon, dry peaches, the almond in the finish. — 7 days ago
Good moment of consumption for this 2018. The 15% didn’t hurt. Ample red and dark fruit, full bodied and fine tannins. — a month ago
A discovery! A fine version of good old Listán Negro from the Canaries. A 20% of an unknown San Francisco to me. On the wine side. Spices, in a restrained nose, lemmon, white pepper, a note of cinnamon. Medium/light bodied, rose petals, red, spicy, with fine length, remarkable acidity. — 7 days ago
Great value! Tons of dark fruit yet refreshing acidity. A discovery and a recommendation, at its price point it is a true Champion — a month ago
The floral and elegant side of Garnacha. Fine raspberries, good acid, some funky note. Pleasant — a month ago
The modern side of Rioja Garnacha. Respects the red fruit, raspberries, keeping the rose petals. Medium light bodied, nice acid, juicy. — 7 days ago
A rewritten, millennial, view on Garnacha. The elegance, flowers, raspberries, light bodied, some tannins (stem?) and a remarkable freshness. Spicy, acid, tension keeping juice — 7 days ago
Always fine. The blood, iron like hint of Mencía, very mineral, fine red fruit and great acid — a month ago
Not the typical Ribera. Elegant, medium bodied, dust like tannins, red fruit driven with scrub herbs, lemon thyme, length. Best on day 2, needs breathing — a month ago

Best and most surprising Ribera for a while! Strawberry fields, white acacia blossom, on the red elegant side with silky tannins and a remarkable acidity. Glorious, don’t know the ageing but it’s promising this 2021 — 6 days ago
