Very good — 3 years ago
What an excellent Rioja at a modest price. Intense red fruit followed by a licorice finish. This wine is smooth and elegant. It is drinking perfectly now. — 5 years ago
Classic Rioja but slightly muted, with a vegetal/sour edge. After 2-3 hours it opened a bit and has more of a chocolate/earth/vanilla under tone... — 6 years ago
With the best fillet simply amazing 😉 — 7 years ago

Candy like strawberries, well handled oak. Good tension to it, with high acid, good tannins, mouthfill and length. Good stuff — 4 years ago
A big, juicy Rioja.

Bought from Majestic and drank at home. Nice easy to drink wine balanced and fresh. Similar to the red we bought from St-Omer. Didn't keep as well over the weekend — 6 years ago
Love this wine. — 7 years ago
One of the best Riojas I have had. Color, depth, rich prune, fairly long finish, and decent acidity. Great with food or a couch! — 8 years ago
Dry, not too tannic - delicious — 3 years ago
Still drinks plenty young. Good bones, maybe in 3-5 years? — 4 years ago
2016 - Classic Rioja. Smokey and bold. Deliciously enjoyed before a very needed nap and while playing board game with family. — 5 years ago
A very VERY good Rioja - heavy, full of depth, one of the better ones I’ve had in a long time — 6 years ago
Drinking well now, this is a well composed wine that typifies Rioja. I first had this about six years ago, and really enjoyed it. This time round, it’s of course more mature, but perhaps falls somewhat short on the finish. The nose is absolutely knockout - it smells much more than the £15 that I paid for it - but on the palate it doesn’t quite live up to it. Still, a very pleasant drink. — 6 years ago
Cerro Añón Mazuelo. Good French oak at first, once unveiled there is a good integration with the red and dark fruit and the herbaceous notes of Mazuelo. Acidity and medium bodied. Got years ahead — 8 years ago
