Carried this back 8 years ago when i visited Bodega the first time. This wine is traditional classic old school Rioja- earthy and fully developed primary nose, soft acid n tannin, haunting finish... 🍷💃 — 12 years ago

From a cooler vintage. Old school in style. Very interesting mix of black fruits and dried herbs. A touch of roasted bell pepper as well. Very complex, I can see why some people may shun this wine, as it's not all black fruit and super ripe. But I love! — 11 years ago

Kick ass Bordeaux. Very old school, pencil lead, graphite, lighter bodied, lots of red fruit too, and very structured. Cooling and cleansing, perfect foil for the steak dinner. — 13 years ago

Impressive stuff; lovely old school aromatics highlighted by pan fried herbs, dusty tannins, nice acidity, pure cassis fruit and a great "Tuscan" feel. Truly well made and grafted to age gracefully. — 11 years ago
