I would give this an 8.5 for taste (verrrrry mellow, but good), but the label is SO pretty. Sometimes you just need to buy yourself a pretty bottle of wine. — 8 years ago

Potente y amaderado. Muy rico — 5 years ago
Red fruit on the nose, raspberry’s. Love the fruit on the pallet with a nice long mineral like finish. Was rated 97 by decanter. Maybe a bit high, but for pop and pour, this bottle is pretty dang delicious. — 5 years ago
Finally opened the 1995. 22 years later, it still had so much fruit. Retained the length and structure. Beautiful wine to share over a great meal. — 6 years ago

I want this on tap in my house. — 8 years ago
Beautiful Wine ! All The amazing characteristics of the grape right in front stage. Ripe strawberry, licorice, leather, tobacco and herbs in this mid-weight, young, gentle tannins, low acidity well balanced wine. Rioja Alta never disappoints. Fireworks in your mouth. The younger the better. Serve at 54 and pair with ANYTHING... Enjoy !

Por La Vida
I can smell the wind, the sun, the stone buildings of Spain in this well made of straightforward Rioja. This 2006 is just coming into it’s given that it may have been fruit forward in its early life. I prefer the crianza from this same wine maker, the reserva goes down enjoyably easy. — 4 years ago
