Nice nose that reminds me of La Folle Noire d'Ambat from Domaine le Roc in Fronton. There is a bit of a wild thing on the nose, with nice cherry and black cherry notes, there is also an iron, metallic touch. Some savoury scents add some complexity. The palate is juicy, acid driven, with some width, some savoury notes all along, like worcestershire sauce. There is a bit of a tannic grip in the rear and a rather long and juicy, and grippy finish that goes on for a while and ends up with that umami flavour. This is very good and a great value at about 17 USD in equivalent local currency. Warmly recommended. 14% abv — 9 hours ago

Aromas slightly similar to sauterne (that noble rot smell) bit with candied orange peel, a big body with sweet mandarin oranges in the syrup juice bit with some acid to cut through. My kind of dessert wine! — 3 years ago

Oof that is fire. Pure beautiful wild blackberry fruit. Totally unique and unexpected for a Rioja. Drinks more like a cru Beaujolais or Loire CF. Truncated finish is my only criticism, but what a treat. Telmo Rodriguez. — 5 months ago

Light citrusy floral nose with hints of minerals. Clean, refreshing apple mineral flavors. Give it a moment in your glass then enjoy! — 2 years ago
